Ngozi Harris, LCPC

Ngozi Harris is an Illinois licensed counselor with 12 years of professional experience. She begins by listening to what matters most to each person and helps them build on their strengths. People who bring concerns about stress, anxiety, relationship or intimacy struggles, or jealousy often find a direct, steady presence in her sessions.

Her style centers on practical conversation and collaborative problem solving. She uses everyday language to name patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Ngozi leans on approaches like acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies to create clear, doable steps for coping and change.

She also draws on narrative and solution-focused work to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and focus on concrete goals. For trauma or abuse, she applies trauma-focused methods with attention to pacing and safety. Sessions can address issues such as grief, parenting strain, career crossroads, and struggles with self esteem or impulsivity.

Ngozi supports people facing identity and LGBTQ concerns, as well as those dealing with abandonment, infidelity, body image, or control and commitment issues. She frames therapy as a partnership where the person's values and goals guide each decision. The first meetings typically focus on what the person wants to change and practical steps to get there.

She works in English and practices in Illinois. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps in that direction while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and reactive behaviors. Narrative Therapy helps people tell their life story differently, separating problems from identity and finding new ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ngozi will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on clear goals, skill practice, and steady progress.
