About Savannah

Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, grief, and addictions. She also supports people facing issues like parenting strain, sleep or eating struggles, ADHD, and career-related stress.

Savannah uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage strong feelings. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Her style is client-centered and direct. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than long explanations. Savannah watches for how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers exercises to try between meetings.

She has worked across different clinical settings, which she says helped her see problems from multiple angles. Her background includes training in CBT, DBT, and EMDR techniques, and she continues to build clinical skills through further training.

Savannah aims to help people make clear, practical choices that move them toward their goals. She encourages collaborative planning so each person can test what works and adjust as needed. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Savannah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. That approach often helps with anger, anxiety, and mood shifts. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It is useful when strong feelings and relationship patterns are central concerns.

She also brings attachment-informed thinking into sessions, noticing how early relationships influence current reactions. Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will help clients pick interventions based on goals, what has helped before, and what feels practical for daily life. This collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the commute to a physical office. It can also let someone use techniques immediately in their everyday setting and bring real-life examples into the session for hands-on practice.
