Steven Harris, LMSW, LCSW

Steven Harris is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 34 years of professional experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, anxiety, and addictions. He emphasizes practical support and steady guidance for people ready to make change.

He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult situations. Sessions focus on building those strengths while addressing specific problems like grief, sleep troubles, anger, or career stress. He uses clear language and straightforward goals so progress feels measurable.

His approach draws from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused methods, paired with mindfulness practices. That means paying attention to how people connect, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and learning skills to respond differently in stressful moments. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people consider change.

Steven has worked in multiple settings over his career and brings that practical experience into sessions. He supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, substance concerns, and life transitions. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals lead the way.

Sessions are conducted in English and he works from Florida licensure. People interested in starting are invited to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how people relate to others. Online sessions can look at relationship patterns and how past connections shape current behaviors, which helps with intimacy and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and connection, helping people name feelings and respond to them differently to improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will check in and adjust strategies as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. Some people find remote sessions cut down on commute time, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, CBT, and emotionally focused exercises for remote sessions so the work remains focused and practical.
