Savannah Harness, LPC

Savannah Harness, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain, substance challenges, and issues tied to trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and intimacy or attachment concerns. Savannah names practical, short-term changes as a path toward feeling more steady in daily life.

Savannah uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to focus on each person’s values and important relationships. Those methods guide a straightforward, collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes seven years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and work across a range of settings that shaped a flexible perspective. Savannah continued learning through courses and clinical trainings in approaches such as DBT and EMDR as part of her ongoing development. She holds Missouri LPC and lists other state licensure in her original biography.

In conversation she listens for strengths and goals, then helps people try practical tools between sessions. She encourages small experiments - like new communication steps or brief coping practices - and reviews what changes and what doesn’t. The focus is on what fits someone’s life and values.

To begin she asks people to describe what’s most urgent and what they hope to change. That starting conversation shapes a collaborative plan and realistic next steps to try between meetings.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Savannah helps people notice patterns that come from early bonds and tries practical changes to how they relate now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Savannah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match a person’s schedule. Different methods adapt well to remote work - CBT lends itself to homework and skill practice, while attachment-focused conversations can happen just as effectively over distance. Savannah will discuss practical arrangements and how to shape sessions to your routine.
