About Harrison
Harrison Burdo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who uses a person-centered, integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person. He focuses on meeting people where they are and building a working relationship that feels respectful and collaborative. He helps with stress and anxiety and supports people coping with trauma and abuse.
He also addresses self-esteem challenges and major life changes. His work includes concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and issues around control and impulsivity.
How Harrison works
Harrison draws from multiple evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than relying on a single method. He listens for each person's history and inner experience, then blends approaches that fit the situation. Sessions are practical and aimed at changes that feel manageable day to day.
People can expect a steady, curious presence in sessions. He emphasizes understanding how past patterns affect present choices and feelings. The pace is collaborative and paced to avoid overwhelm while still encouraging progress.
Harrison has five years of clinical experience and is based in New York. He works with concerns that span mood difficulties, multicultural issues, body image, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and relationship-related struggles such as divorce and separation. He focuses on helping people reconnect with strengths and find clearer direction.

Online support options
Integrative approaches for online care
Harrison commonly blends two kinds of evidence-based work. First, person-centered techniques focus on listening closely and responding to each person's experience; this helps when people need a space to be heard and to explore their feelings and values. Second, integrative methods draw from several therapeutic frameworks to tackle specific problems like anxiety, trauma reactions, or obsessive behaviors by adapting tools to the client's needs.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their situation. Over time they check in and adjust strategies so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes or do shorter exchanges between sessions. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, school, or busy family life.
