About Graham
Graham Harriman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience in mental health. He blends a person-centered approach with mindful practices and existential ideas. He names spirituality as nonreligious and uses that perspective to look at how people relate to themselves and others.
Graham draws on work in community programs and public health as well as direct therapy. That background includes program management and planning with diverse service providers.
How Graham works
His experience also involved coordinating services related to HIV and community resource allocation. In sessions he focuses on practical skills and self-awareness. He uses mindfulness and mind/body awareness to help people notice patterns and manage stress.
He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, sexual health topics, and substance use from a harm-reduction perspective. Graham uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and from motivational interviewing to support change. He also applies existential questions to help people find meaning during big life transitions.
Clients may work on sleep, grief, anger, career shifts, ADHD, or mood-related concerns. He has written about community responses to illness and mutual aid, coauthoring a book called The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology. Graham works from Oregon and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Graham uses client-centered work to make sessions focused on each person's needs. That approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people shape goals that matter to them. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is used to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively. Existential therapy invites straightforward conversation about meaning, purpose, and choices during major life changes or when people feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Graham collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their concerns and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client's goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, more frequent contact, and flexible timing between appointments. These options aim to increase access and convenience while keeping the focus on useful therapeutic work.
