About Bri

Bri Harless is an LPC who works with people coping with depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use histories, trauma, parenting stress, grief, and a range of life transitions. She frames initial contact around client fit, taking time to understand each person’s needs before recommending tools or therapeutic methods.

Background and approach

With 14 years of counseling experience, she has helped individuals and families in both community and independent practice settings. Her training centers on counseling and marriage and family therapy, and much of her early career focused on supporting those affected by substance use.

In more recent years she has expanded her practice to address an array of mental health concerns, including compassion fatigue, relationship and family issues, and identity-related stressors. Bri views her role as guide, teacher, and helper who honors client autonomy and seeks interventions that integrate smoothly into everyday life.

Clients can expect a collaborative, individualized process in which evidence-informed techniques are selected to fit personal goals rather than applied rigidly. She welcomes the difficulty of taking the first step and aims to make therapy a worthwhile investment for those ready to work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions; it often supports people facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to shift them, which can be useful for stress, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine which methods match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Rather than applying a single model, she draws from multiple evidence-informed approaches and invites clients to weigh in on what feels most useful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow for flexible scheduling, more consistent contact between sessions when needed, and the ability to engage from locations that work for the client. Licensed professionals adapt therapeutic techniques to each format so clients can pursue meaningful change without rearranging their entire routine.
