More about Savannah

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LCPC

Hello-

I have been a licensed LPC counselor in Missouri for the past five years and was recently licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, District of Columbia, Maine, and Virginia. Working with individuals, families, and couples has provided me with the ability to assist individuals throughout many aspects of their lives.

I have had training in DBT, CBT, EMD-R and continue to grow my therapeutic knowledge through self-training and through clinical training. I have had the pleasure of working in many different fields throughout my life time and feel this has provided me with the ability to look at situations from a variety of different perspectives.

I firmly believe that when a person makes the choice to make changes in their life then they are on the path to becoming who they want to be.

I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you with determining who you want to be.

Thank you,

Savannah Harness, LPC

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Savannah has the most kind and unique approach. Every session feels like I’m talking to a friend that has an abundance of resources to assist me on my healing journey. She creates a comfortable and supportive environment that truly fosters healing and growth.

Savannah has been wonderful! From the very first session she quickly validated and understood my most pressing issues and goals for therapy. I always feel understood and supported. I appreciate that she asks difficult questions and encourages me to do the work. She has been very helpful in communicating via chat in between our video sessions. I love this feature because it maximizes my time with her - I don’t feel like I am spending my whole session catching her up on the week since I have already let her know what has been happening and what I need help with in real time. It has only been a couple of weeks but the difference made has been transformative! I look forward to the process with her and highly recommend Better Help to anyone that will listen.

Savannah's approach, thus far, seems that it will focus on small and actionable items. We're not re-hashing my past and my youth (thank goodness) as we get started. Not that these things aren't important, but they can make the experience that much more difficult. She trusts that as we progress, these topics will come up organically when I'm moving through a specific complexity. I've never worked with someone who's approach is like this, but I think it will do better for me. Savannah wants to help me build myself up, and part of that means setting and working towards goals.

I have had the privilege of working with Savannah for a while now and I am incredibly thankful to have found her. Finding a therapist is HARD and I breathed a sigh of relief after meeting with Savannah. Since then, she has helped me to work through things I wasn't even aware of, challenged me to better myself, served as a listening ear, and has just been an amazing support all around. I love that she follows up every serious moment we have with a bit of levity because that's what I need; it's something that demonstrates how well she knows her clients and how much she cares.
