Savannah Harness

Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and communication. Savannah works with people across a wide range of life challenges and identities, including LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue.

Savannah takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens first, helps people name their priorities, and then offers practical tools to try between meetings. Her work draws on attachment ideas and client-centered listening to build safety, while also using cognitive-behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She combines skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other structured methods when someone needs concrete emotion regulation and coping techniques. Savannah also brings existential ideas into conversations when people need space to consider meaning, values, and life direction. Her aim is to match methods to what a person actually needs, not to force a single approach.

Savannah has seven years of counseling experience and holds LPC credentials in Missouri along with licensure in additional states. She continues to learn through ongoing training and clinical development. People who reach out can expect clear guidance, practical homework, and a collaborative partnership to work toward realistic goals.

If someone wants to start, Savannah asks them to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin clarifying goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current trust and communication. Online sessions can use these ideas to map relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and understood while they sort out goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and gives concrete exercises to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Savannah treats choosing methods as a collaborative process based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels most useful. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as clients try different tools and give feedback.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from different locations. It also supports using worksheets, behavioral experiments, and real-time practice between meetings so therapy fits into everyday routines.
