About Ngozi
Ngozi Harris is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.

She believes clients are the experts on their lives and she offers gentle guidance and structure. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that can reduce daily strain.
Background and approach
Ngozi uses clear tools to change unhelpful thinking, to make values-based choices, and to process painful experiences. Her work draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift patterns that cause distress. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy informs how she addresses past hurt when it affects current life. With 12 years of experience and an Illinois LCPC credential, she blends practical strategies with respectful listening. Sessions move at a pace the client controls, with a focus on usable skills for everyday life.
Ngozi aims to help people find clearer priorities, steadier mood, and more satisfying connections. Her work covers a wide range of issues including grief, parenting concerns, career stress, identity and LGBT matters, impulsivity, and challenges around self-esteem and body image. The overall focus is on forward movement and real-world changes.
Remote approaches that focus on action and meaning
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell and reshape the stories they carry about themselves so they can see new options for acting and relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ngozi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, daily realities, and preferences. That collaboration can start with a few focused skills and then expand into deeper narrative or trauma-focused work if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options help people fit therapy into busy days, keep momentum between sessions, and try different formats to see what works best.
