Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Dr. Harris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful reactions. One common approach focuses on emotional regulation skills - teaching ways to manage intense feelings, slow down, and choose responses rather than reacting on impulse. This can help with temper, workplace frustration, and simmering resentment.Another approach emphasizes practical behavior changes and communication skills. Sessions may include role-play or rehearsing new responses to repeated conflicts, which can reduce misunderstandings and improve day-to-day interactions. These methods are useful for relationship strain, commitment concerns, and problems with communication and boundaries.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust strategies as progress is tracked. Clients are involved in choosing tasks and skills to try between meetings.
