About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 33 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career matters, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses a wide range of related issues such as attachment questions, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and coping with major life changes.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions aim to clarify what is causing distress and to build clear steps for managing it. Christianne uses conversational methods so people can describe what is happening and try approaches that fit their life.

Over decades of work she has helped people sort complicated feelings and relationship patterns. She draws on approaches that focus on thoughts, behaviors, values, and relationships to find what works in day-to-day life. Christianne pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people test different ways of responding.

Therapy sessions include learning skills to reduce anxiety, improving communication, and making plans to handle stressful events. She often combines cognitive and behavioral tools with acceptance and mindfulness techniques to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. The emphasis is on practical strategies a person can use between sessions.

Christianne accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. To begin, readers can follow the site's steps to review online therapy options and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christianne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values even when uncomfortable feelings arise. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. This choice is a collaborative process and may combine elements from different approaches to fit the person's day-to-day life.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can support skills practice, behavioral experiments, and value-based planning effectively in remote sessions when formats are agreed on in advance.
