Bri Harless , LPC

Bri Harless holds a master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. Since beginning her career in 2009, she has provided individual, couples, and group counseling, spending the early years focused on supporting individuals and families affected by substance use and more recent years working in private practice with a wide range of mental health concerns.

Her clinical background includes substantial experience addressing depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use disorders, PTSD, life stage transitions, and parenting stressors. She approaches each person as an individual rather than relying on a single framework, taking time to understand what will fit best for the person in front of her. Bri views her role as a guide, helper, and teacher who respects each client’s autonomy and values practical tools that integrate with daily life.

Credentialed as an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, she emphasizes collaboration and skill-building so people can apply strategies that make sense for their circumstances. She recognizes that reaching out for help can feel uncomfortable and expresses appreciation for the step toward care, hoping to make the process a worthwhile investment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take committed actions aligned with what matters to them while learning practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful behavior change rather than symptom elimination alone.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth. It suits those who want a collaborative, autonomy-focused process that honors personal goals and pacing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Bri Harless works with people to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts tools so they are practical and usable in everyday life.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in care from locations that work for them and to choose formats that match their communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and life demands while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective, evidence-informed practice.
