About Steven

Steven Harris is a licensed social worker with 34 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and other life stresses. He emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people can feel understood and move forward.

Steven listens first and asks clear questions to learn what matters most. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on real-life problems and small changes that make daily life easier. His practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to understand how emotions shape close connections. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, client-centered approaches to keep the person’s goals central, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress.

These tools are used in ways that match each person’s needs. Born from many years of work across settings, his approach is calm and practical. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, not theoretical.

People meet with him for issues such as grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar mood work, and coping with life changes. Steven is licensed as an LMSW in Michigan and as an LCSW in Florida. He works in English and offers sessions online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to sessions.

Online support

How emotional work and online therapy fit together

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and sit with important emotions. It looks at how feelings shape close connections and helps people change patterns that block healthier bonds. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence how people relate today and can be useful for improving trust and communication.

Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals and experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgment and works alongside the person to find what feels most helpful. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process; the therapist will discuss options and tailor a plan based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work on emotions and interaction patterns, phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is low, live chat can support shorter focused exchanges, and text messaging helps keep continuity between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular work on the issues that matter.
