About Monriel

Monriel Harbison offers a warm, collaborative therapeutic approach grounded in evidence-based methods. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help people understand patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and improved coping so clients can regain a sense of balance and purpose.

With four years licensed as an LCMHC in North Carolina, Harbison draws on a broader eight-year background in the mental health field to address challenges such as addictions, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, career stress, relationship concerns, and ADHD.

She cultivates a nonjudgmental space focused on building confidence and clearer communication, and she integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support goal-setting and incremental change. Clients who want to move from merely managing symptoms toward more sustainable wellbeing will find a collaborative partner in her practice.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Emotional Support

CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress; it emphasizes practical exercises and skill-building to produce measurable changes in daily functioning. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication during times of overwhelm. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce rumination and support better sleep and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past to tailor a plan, often combining elements from different approaches to fit individual needs.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and access support from wherever clients are located within the state. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to these formats to help clients progress toward their goals.
