About Steven

Steven Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 34 years of professional experience. He works with adults on relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood and anxiety issues, and problems with substance use and grief.

He approaches therapy believing clients know their own stories and bring strengths to the work. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and building practical steps to reduce stress and improve relationships. Steven uses clear, direct conversation rather than technical language. He aims to help people make changes that fit their daily life.

His background spans many settings over three decades, giving him experience with chronic illness, caregiving strain, aging and geriatric issues, and work-related compassion fatigue. He also has experience addressing eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and adjustment to major life changes.

Steven draws from several therapy methods to match what a person needs. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques for practical behavior and thought changes. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused approaches may also be part of the work when they fit the client's goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the licensing noted above. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and any administrative details on the booking page.

BHow sessions work

How Steven integrates common approaches during online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how past and present relationships affect current patterns. It can help people understand trust, closeness, and recurring conflicts in relationships. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace, with the therapist following the client's lead to address what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change daily routines.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods over time. This makes the work practical and focused on changes a person wants to see.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins on a break from work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to suit remote sessions so people can keep progress moving even when life is busy.
