About Steven
Steven Harris is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and an LMSW - Master Social Worker in Michigan with 34 years of professional experience. He helps people with relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. He also supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy.
His approach is practical and direct. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and patterns shape feelings and behavior.
Sessions focus on clear steps and concrete skills. People work on specific goals such as improving communication, managing mood swings, coping with loss, or addressing sleep and eating concerns. Homework and short exercises are often part of the process to practice new habits between meetings.
Steven frames the client as the expert on their own life. He listens for strengths and resources, then pairs those with behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques. Conversations often move from understanding patterns to testing small changes in everyday life.
He has worked across many settings over three decades, gaining experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness, substance use concerns, and veteran-related issues. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed steps to schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Steven commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down problems into clear thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships influence reactions and closeness; it is useful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and pacing to make sure goals fit the person's priorities and readiness.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on specific goals, preferences, and what proves most useful in weekly sessions. Decisions about techniques and pacing are reviewed as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, or meetings without needing extra travel time. It can also allow practicing skills in real-world contexts and checking in about how new behaviors feel between sessions.
