About Steven

Steven Harris is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 34 years of experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and intimacy-related concerns. He believes people know their story best and brings steady support as they take the first steps toward change.

Steven emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach. He listens first and follows the client’s lead to identify practical next steps. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing mood swings, addressing addictive patterns, or rebuilding intimacy. He encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

His background spans many settings over three decades, giving him familiarity with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Steven also works with people facing career stress, financial strain, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress. His scope includes both emotional and practical aspects of these problems.

Therapeutic work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. He uses those approaches to help people understand patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Steven practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The process is set up to help people begin without unnecessary hassle.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current relationships; it can be useful for intimacy-related issues and repairing trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so clients can explore their own solutions; it often helps when someone needs space to tell their story and identify strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven treats the choice as collaborative and may combine methods to match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will talk through options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use live conversations to practice new communication skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to virtual sessions while keeping the focus on practical changes and relationship work.
