About Bri

Bri Harless is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely to learn what each person needs. Bri aims to offer practical skills that fit everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

She earned a master’s degree in Counseling with a focus on professional counseling and marriage and family therapy. Since 2009 she has worked in individual, couples, and group settings.

Background and approach

Much of her early work involved people affected by substance use, and more recently she has provided care in independent practice for a wide range of concerns. Over 14 years Bri has supported people managing PTSD, ADHD, grief, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress. She emphasizes knowing the person first and choosing approaches that match their goals.

She describes her role as a guide, helper, and teacher. In sessions Bri draws from several methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused perspectives. The focus is on tools clients can use between appointments to handle stress, anger, and upsetting memories.

Reaching out can feel uncomfortable, and Bri acknowledges that. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to track progress in ways that make sense for daily life. The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and strong stress reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change emotional responses in relationships, which can ease conflict and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will begin by learning your goals and preferences. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust them over time. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so skills feel usable between meetings.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let you use visual cues and keep longer sessions. Phone meetings can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family time, or other routines while still using ACT, CBT, or EFT-based exercises.
