About Maureen
Maureen Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life changes. Maureen focuses on practical tools and a respectful, client-led approach to help people find relief.
She meets people where they are and emphasizes their autonomy. Sessions mix listening with actionable strategies. Common goals include improving self-esteem, coping with grief, handling workplace strain, and navigating relationship or family concerns.
How Maureen works
Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient substance abuse settings, college mental health counseling, group counseling, life coaching, and care management. That range informs how she adapts plans to each person’s situation. Maureen uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person in charge of goals and pacing.
She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to harness personal motivation to make change. People often come for help with seasonal affective disorder, compassion fatigue, career questions, and issues related to sexual orientation.
Maureen offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. She encourages anyone curious about therapy to take the first step toward support.

Online support options
Approaches and what online sessions look like
Maureen uses Client-Centered Therapy to let the person set the pace and priorities, offering nonjudgmental listening and support so goals emerge from the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns, test them, and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques as progress is made and as needs change, so the plan stays practical and personalized.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief reflections, strategy sharing, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
