About Mitchell

Dr. Mitchell Harris is a Utah-licensed psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. He aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings and worries.

He works with people facing mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and persistent depression, as well as those dealing with addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue. Relationship concerns, communication problems, commitment worries, and intimacy-related issues are also common topics in his practice. He supports clients navigating life changes, parenting stress, and challenges tied to ADHD.

Dr. Harris describes his approach as evidence-based and practical. He and the client set clear goals and try strategies that fit daily life. Sessions focus on learning skills to handle emotions, improving communication, and building routines that reduce stress.

Over nearly two decades he has helped people cope with complex situations like chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption or foster care questions, and attachment or abandonment wounds. His experience includes supporting people with body image concerns, career stress, and blended family dynamics.

People meet him in an accepting, nonjudgmental setting where progress is worked on step by step. He encourages small, manageable changes and checks in on what is working. If you want to explore whether therapy might help, the first step is a short matching questionnaire to arrange a time to talk.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Dr. Harris works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. One common approach helps people learn concrete strategies to manage anxiety and mood swings, teaching step-by-step tools for calming intense feelings and improving daily routines. Another approach centers on improving communication and intimacy by practicing clearer expression of needs and setting boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and try methods that feel useful. Adjustments are made over time so the plan matches what’s actually helping in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also allow continuity when life events make in-person meetings difficult. A short matching questionnaire is the first step to schedule a time and determine the best format for ongoing sessions.
