About Christianne

Christianne Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 33 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and related concerns such as grief and parenting. She also addresses issues important to LGBT clients and people coping with trauma and abuse.

Her style balances clear guidance with listening. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing how patterns from the past affect current choices. Christianne pays attention to family of origin issues and attachment concerns when they show up in conversations about relationships and behavior.

She uses a mix of methods to help people learn new habits and reactions. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based ideas to manage difficult feelings, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches to regulate intense emotions. Client-centered conversations are central to how she works in session.

Christianne draws on long experience to help people make concrete changes. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice alternative responses, and build clearer communication skills. Sessions often include homework and short exercises to try between meetings.

People who come to her often want to understand repeated patterns, improve relationships, or manage stress and mood. Christianne supports the practical work of changing day-to-day habits and responses rooted in early family dynamics.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then focus on values and small actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now in friendships and partnerships; it helps people spot repeated roles and practice different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christianne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their situation, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new needs appear.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Combining talk, brief exercises, and homework between sessions works well over video or other supported formats, and these practical benefits often help people integrate changes into everyday life.
