Jonathan "Chris" Harrell, LCSW

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Chris commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which blends mindfulness and values work to help clients accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and issues related to motivation and life direction. He also employs value-based interventions that focus on clarifying what a person truly cares about and translating those values into practical steps that reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful daily routine.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chris approaches this collaboratively. He listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the client rather than the client fitting a single method. That collaborative stance helps tailor exercises to individual needs, including strategies helpful for people managing ADHD challenges.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which create flexibility for different schedules and styles of communication. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support without requiring travel, making it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life while still engaging in meaningful, evidence-based work.
