Savannah Harness , LPC

Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. She has supported individuals, families, and couples through many stages of life, offering a perspective shaped by work across diverse settings and populations. Her practice emphasizes evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and she continues to expand her skills through ongoing professional training.

Savannah works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy and body image difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, attention and mood disorders, and coping with life changes. She integrates an understanding of attachment and developmental history into treatment when helpful, tailoring interventions to each person or family she meets.

Savannah believes that choosing to pursue change is the first step toward becoming who a person wants to be, and she approaches therapy with that collaborative, growth-oriented mindset. She aims to help people clarify goals, build practical skills, and strengthen relationships as they move forward.

Attachment-Informed and Skills-Based Care Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early caregiving experiences to help people understand how those dynamics affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful for addressing attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Savannah collaborates with people to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods from these approaches to fit each individual's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. That collaborative stance helps shape a treatment plan that feels meaningful and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reach people in different locations, and sustain ongoing support between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists.
