About Ngozi

Ngozi Harris is an Illinois-licensed LCPC with 12 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and draws on their existing strengths as a basis for growth. Taking the first step toward change is acknowledged as courageous, and Harris positions herself as a supportive partner through that journey.

Her work integrates several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That blend allows her to tailor interventions to issues such as depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family difficulties, career questions, and identity-related concerns including LGBT matters.

Sessions emphasize practical skills, values-based direction, and reshaping the narratives that get in the way of healthier functioning.

Blending therapeutic methods for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop psychological flexibility through mindful action and values-driven goals; it can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation-related challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for symptoms like depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the impacts of traumatic events by integrating safety, stabilization, and processing techniques to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adapts methods from ACT, CBT, or trauma-focused work to match those needs. That flexibility lets the therapeutic plan evolve as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow for consistent work on coping skills, behavioral experiments, narrative shifts, and values-based steps without requiring in-person visits, making it easier to maintain momentum between meetings.
