About Savannah

Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, relationship and family strains, grief, and other life changes. Savannah also supports clients facing issues such as body image, attachment concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. That can mean learning coping strategies from cognitive behavioral work or practicing emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that make everyday life easier.

Savannah draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered practices to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. She mentions EMDR among her clinical tools and continues to expand her training.

Her background includes work across different settings, which she says helps her see problems from many angles. Savannah aims to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try practical changes that reduce recurring conflict and intense reactions. She works with adults on issues tied to relationships, work, and mood.

To begin, Savannah asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She notes that subscription-based sessions are used and can be canceled at any time, and that costs vary by location.

Online approaches and how they work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help people recognize the way they connect, withdraw, or react in close relationships and find new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anger linked to stress, anxiety, and repetitive behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Those skills help reduce intense reactions and improve communication during heated moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Savannah will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches so clients learn skills and try new ways of responding over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means using approaches that translate well to remote sessions, such as skills coaching, guided behavioral experiments, and focused conversation about relationship patterns.
