Savannah Harness , LPC

Savannah Harness is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience working with individuals, families, and couples. She applies a blend of therapeutic approaches to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges related to LGBT identity. Her practice also attends to issues such as eating and sleeping disturbances, parenting and blended family dynamics, anger and self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

In addition to these specialties, Savannah works with specific focus areas that include abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality traits, codependency, communication and control problems, body image concerns, caregiver stress, comorbidity, commitment issues, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). She integrates evidence-informed methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Savannah approaches therapy with a collaborative, respectful stance that centers the client’s goals and lived experience. Her work emphasizes helping people make meaningful changes and build toward the life and relationships they want, using therapeutic techniques matched to the individual’s situation and strengths.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Relational Emphasis

Savannah Harness blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide clients through online care. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships to help people understand how early bonds shape current interactions and emotional responses; it is useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Savannah frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so treatment aligns with what feels most helpful and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility—sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists can also provide support through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible, while allowing licensed professionals to apply the same therapeutic tools used in traditional settings.
