About Steven
Steven Harris is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 34 years of experience. He is licensed in Michigan and Florida and practices in Florida. He works with adults on issues like relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and anger.
He sees people as the experts on their own story and builds on their strengths. Sessions focus on practical conversation rather than labels. He listens for patterns in relationships and mood, then helps people try small changes to test what works in real life.
His approach draws from attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help ground strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
In sessions he aims for clear, straightforward planning. That can mean setting a single concrete goal, practicing a new communication step, or trying a brief behavioral experiment between meetings. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find what matters most and keep going.
People often come with a mix of concerns such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, work pressure, or post-traumatic stress. He will explore how these fit together and prioritize what to address first. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site directions to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Steven uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, which can help when anger and closeness get mixed up. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify the emotions that drive conflict and to practice new ways of connecting in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that fuel stress or anger and testing small changes to reduce reactivity.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, practical goals and try techniques in everyday situations to see what helps.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is hard to arrange, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as mindfulness practice, communication drills, and brief behavioral experiments to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
