Bri Harless, LPC

Bri Harless is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting stress, grief, relationship strain, and related concerns. She has spent time in both community and private practice settings since 2009.

Her early work focused on people and families affected by substance use. More recently she has provided individual, couples, and group counseling in private practice. That variety shaped how she approaches common problems like coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and low self-esteem.

Bri starts by getting to know each person and what fits them best. She describes her role as a guide, helper, and teacher, and values client autonomy. She aims to use tools people can actually apply in daily life rather than techniques that don't match their routines.

Her toolkit includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She looks at which methods align with a client's goals and preferences rather than defaulting to one option.

Clients can expect practical skills for managing strong emotions, handling parenting stressors, and addressing patterns that lead to relapse or overwhelm. Bri emphasizes collaboration and clear steps you can try between sessions. If you decide to reach out, she lays out the first steps and works alongside you to set reasonable goals.
