About Mitchell
Dr. Mitchell Harris is a Utah psychologist with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship problems. He keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
His approach aims to make talking about hard things easier and less overwhelming. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier mood.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how life events, grief, caregiving demands, and health issues affect daily coping. Many who seek help also bring concerns about intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, career transitions, or ADHD. He helps people talk through these topics and build skills for better communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving.
Work can include managing anger, reducing avoidance, or facing painful memories at a comfortable pace. Dr. Harris emphasizes collaboration.
He listens first, then suggests practical tools and homework that fit each person's life. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what changes are working. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options for ongoing support.
Sessions are scheduled through an online matching and booking process.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of his sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills. One common approach helps people recognize thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and some patterns linked to bipolar disorder.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that moves at a pace the person can handle. This involves grounding skills, managing strong emotions, and carefully processing painful memories when the person feels ready. That approach helps people coping with past abuse, grief, and long-standing relationship wounds.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend techniques to try. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels realistic for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing support without scheduling a call. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
