Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. With 35 years of experience, she blends a broad view of social factors with attention to personal history. That includes understanding how race-based and intergenerational trauma can affect daily life.

She describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the person’s background and culture matter. Her style is respectful and direct. She aims to listen without judgment and to offer clear options rather than complex jargon.

The work may include talking through relationships, building emotional regulation skills, and planning ways to reduce daily stressors. People who choose Harrison can expect a focus on real-life changes. She helps clarify goals, set manageable steps, and track small progress.

The practical approach is meant to make problems feel less overwhelming and more solvable over time.

Therapeutic methods and online options

Prof. Harrison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on healing from trauma and managing anxiety. One approach emphasizes understanding patterns in relationships and attachment to reduce repeated hurts and improve communication. This helps when problems stem from past wounds or difficulty trusting others.

Another approach focuses on practical skills for anxiety and stress, such as grounding, breathing, and step-by-step behavior changes. Those tools aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and make daily life more manageable. Both approaches are adapted to each person’s culture and life story when relevant.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. She will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and which techniques are emphasized.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can fit brief updates, reflection between sessions, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it possible to continue work despite travel, busy schedules, or other commitments.
