Graham Harriman , LPC

Graham Harriman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 14 years of experience helping people navigate complex emotional, relational, and behavioral challenges. He integrates mindfulness and mind-body awareness into a person-centered, existential framework that encourages clients to examine their relationship to self and to others while honoring each person’s spiritual, nonreligious perspective. He works extensively with intimacy and sexuality issues, including LGBTQ matters, and has specialized training in couples therapy, group therapy, and sex and intimacy concerns.

Graham’s clinical practice addresses addictions and harm reduction - with specific experience supporting people working with crystal methamphetamine use - as well as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. He also attends to family and relationship dynamics, career and life-purpose questions, compassion fatigue, and multicultural issues such as raising awareness of racism and white privilege.

In addition to direct practice, Graham has served as a mental health program manager, public health program director, and community services planner collaborating with service providers and people with HIV to allocate resources. He is a coauthor of the book The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology and brings that community-focused perspective into his therapeutic work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is useful for relationship issues, identity questions, and finding personal meaning. Mindfulness Therapy involves practices that increase moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts, body sensations, and emotions, supporting work with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to self-regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, anger, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Graham works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors care by combining elements from different approaches to support coping, growth, and meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and geography, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are not feasible, helping maintain consistency and momentum in treatment.
