About Savannah
Savannah Harness helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. She is Savannah Harness, LPC, and she brings seven years of practice to everyday problems like sleep trouble, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and career transitions. Savannah keeps sessions focused and straightforward.
She listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Sessions look like talking through what's happening now, trying small changes, and checking what helps.
How Savannah works
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the situation. This means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and improve how they relate to others.
Savannah has worked with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, and communication or control problems. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices from Missouri.
Sessions are offered in English and Savannah welcomes people from other regions as well. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. In sessions this can look like mapping how someone connects with others and practicing different ways of relating to reduce conflict and increase closeness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment, mirrors what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to see what improves mood, sleep, or stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what feels useful. This collaborative process helps match tools to the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer visits. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while using approaches like attachment work, client-centered listening, and CBT in an online format.
