About Savannah
Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and ADHD. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients facing parenting strain, work stress, or changes after loss. Savannah writes plainly and listens for what matters most to each person.
She brings seven years of clinical experience and has active LPC credentials in Missouri and Pennsylvania.
Background and approach
Her approach blends talk-based care with skill-building. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, managing intense feelings, and building daily routines that reduce overwhelm. Savannah draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationships shape today's patterns.
She also uses client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in small steps. When trauma or deep distress appears, Savannah prioritizes safety and pacing.
She helps people process difficult memories and learn strategies to feel more stable. She supports those dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, and complex grief. Practical matters are part of the work.
Sessions can include short skills practice, planning concrete next steps, and checking progress between visits. The focus is on usable tools clients can apply in daily life, not on clinical jargon. Background and approach: Savannah has worked across varied settings and brings that breadth into sessions.
She pays attention to co-occurring issues such as eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and codependency. She welcomes conversations about identity and LGBT issues and approaches each person with curiosity and respect. Her style is collaborative and calm.
Clients who want clear strategies, steady support, and help organizing next steps will find that approach central to the work she offers.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and important relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeated reactions in close relationships and try new, healthier ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, making space for the person's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes to reduce distress or improve routines.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Savannah collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts as goals and needs become clearer. The plan can mix listening, skill practice, and homework so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text suits quick skill coaching or brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while maintaining continuity of care.
