About Christianne

Christianne Harris brings more than 33 years of clinical practice to her work in Florida as an LCSW, blending practical direction with empathic support.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate transitions and persistent emotional challenges, offering tailored strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and related areas such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Her style balances active skill teaching with a client-centered stance that values each person’s lived experience.

Christianne uses evidence-informed approaches to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning, including communication problems, codependency, attachment difficulties, and struggles around commitment and control. She aims to empower clients to build resilience, improve coping, and make practical changes that support long-term well-being.

Clients encounter a steady, collaborative guide who helps translate insights into workable practices for sleeping, eating, career concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes. Christianne’s practice welcomes English-speaking international clients and offers flexible formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Combining proven therapies with online convenience

Christianne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility when facing painful thoughts or life transitions. Additionally, attachment-based ideas inform her work on relationship dynamics and communication by exploring how early patterns influence current connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christianne discusses goals and preferences with each person, and together they decide which methods and practices will best fit the client’s needs. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so interventions feel relevant and practical for daily life.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to engage in therapy from other locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and incorporate brief check-ins or skills practice in ways that suit a client’s routine.
