About Kourtney
Kourtney Harris is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing addictions, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in Ohio.
Harris frames work around practical conversation and clear goals. She adjusts dialogue and plans to fit each person's situation rather than following a single script. That can mean focusing on coping skills for anxiety one week and looking at patterns in relationships the next.
She also addresses attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and concerns tied to guilt and shame. Harris listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then tries straightforward ways to change them. She describes the process as collaborative and paced to what a person can manage.
In trauma work she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce distress and build safer ways of relating to memories and triggers. For addictions and compulsive behavior she works on skills, relapse prevention, and practical strategies to manage urges and routine shifts.
People who come to her often want clear steps and steady conversation rather than long abstract explanations. Those who prefer concrete tools, short-term coping plans, and a focus on daily functioning may find this approach fits their needs.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are cognitive-behavioral style work and trauma-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral style work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and teaches concrete skills to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and shame-based thinking. Trauma-focused strategies aim to reduce the hold of distressing memories and reactions by changing how those memories are processed and by building new coping responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work, not a one-time choice. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments can be made based on what helps in practice.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow check-ins without travel, and let people choose a quieter time or shorter meeting when needed. Those practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client test approaches that suit the person's situation.
