Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas shape how she thinks about relationship patterns and emotional connection. In sessions she keeps language plain and goals concrete. People can expect calm listening, questions that get to the heart of a problem, and exercises to practice between meetings.
She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, eating and sleeping issues, mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes counseling people affected by domestic violence, sexual trauma, homelessness, and complex family situations. That experience informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s needs and pace.
Dr. Harrell supports clients through periods of life change, loss, and recovery. She focuses on building coping skills, strengthening self‑understanding, and identifying realistic next steps people can try outside of sessions.

04Online support
How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to identify what matters most and set small steps to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms. In remote sessions CBT often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and brief homework to track changes and build skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals and preferences during early meetings and adjust methods as needed so work feels relevant and doable.
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 works well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing coaching between scheduled meetings.
