About Steven
Steven Harris is a licensed social worker with 34 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, mood problems such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, stress, and ADHD. He also supports people facing grief, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career or life transitions.
Steven believes the person is the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
He listens without judgment and helps people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person’s daily life rather than long lectures or complex jargon. His approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools.
Emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness practices are added when they help people notice patterns, process emotions, and try new behaviors. The therapist uses these methods to help with relationship patterns, coping skills, and managing strong emotions. Steven is licensed as a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, in Florida.
He draws on three decades of varied work to guide conversations toward clear goals and small, doable changes. Sessions move at a pace each person can handle. People meet with him to talk through practical problems and painful memories, and to make plans for change.
He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and develop safer, more connected ways of relating.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps people find their own solutions and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time so the work feels useful and manageable. Collaboration is central rather than a fixed formula.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and stick with the work.
