He has 18 years of clinical experience working in Utah and draws on methods that target anxiety, depression, and bipolar symptoms.

He also supports people facing grief, addiction, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.
Adoption and foster care are among the additional areas he addresses, helping clients sort through feelings tied to attachment and separation. He also works with issues such as ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career-related concerns. Dr. Harris pays attention to how these problems interact and affect daily functioning.
His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, then suggests techniques to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed together so plans can shift if needed.
People often come for help with intimacy challenges, self-esteem, and communication problems. When needed he offers structured support for managing anger, commitment worries, and the strain of blending households. His goal is to help clients build sustainable skills for coping with life changes.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Dr. Harris commonly relies on well-established, evidence-based techniques that target thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes practicing concrete coping skills such as relaxation, activity planning, and behavioral experiments to manage mood swings and stress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to goals and reviews options together, then adapts methods based on what’s most helpful. Clients shape the pace and focus so therapy fits their needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also can allow sessions to continue during life transitions or while managing health or caregiving responsibilities. Discussing practical needs up front helps determine which session pattern will work best.
