About Susan

Dr. Susan Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Master Addiction Counselor who focuses on helping people recover from substance and process addictions while addressing related mental health concerns. She has worked in the addiction field for over twenty years and in mental health for more than ten years, bringing long-term practical experience to each client interaction.

She views addiction and mental health as interconnected and supports treatment that attends to the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of a person's life. Using an eclectic toolkit, she adapts her methods to meet clients where they are and to address the specific challenges they face, whether those involve coping skills, relationship patterns, or trauma-related symptoms.

As a person-centered clinician, she emphasizes teaching and practicing skills that improve daily functioning and quality of life. The title Licensed Mental Health Counselor indicates formal licensure to provide mental health therapy, and Master Addiction Counselor reflects advanced training in alcohol, drug, and gambling treatment. Her approach is collaborative and skill-focused, aimed at helping clients build sustainable habits for recovery and wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Harris integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so the client can explore goals and values while feeling heard. It is helpful for improving self-esteem, building insight, and strengthening motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is effective for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns because it teaches practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Harris works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, combining strategies as needed so therapy responds to how a client is progressing.



Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from home or elsewhere, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. These options make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and to receive consistent support from therapists without added travel time.
