About Bri
Bri Harless, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use concerns, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions. Bri also supports those navigating grief, relationship and family strain, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She spent the early part of her career helping individuals and families affected by substance use. In recent years she has worked in private practice with a wide range of mental health concerns. Her background includes individual, couples, and group counseling since 2009 and training in marriage and family therapy during her master’s degree in Counseling.
Bri draws on multiple therapy approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and relational patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and committed action, and practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when helpful. She also works from a client-centered perspective, placing the person’s choices at the center of the work.
She describes her role as a guide, helper, and teacher who wants tools to fit into everyday life. Sessions focus on getting to know the person first, then choosing methods that make sense for their situation and goals. Bri emphasizes practical strategies people can use between sessions.
If you are considering therapy for mood concerns, stress, parenting strain, substance use history, or relationship patterns, she invites you to follow the online booking steps to begin. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How Bri uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape connection and behavior. In practice this means noticing patterns of feeling and interaction and naming what is happening so a person can respond differently. EFT is often used when relationship patterns or strong, hard-to-name emotions are a main concern.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify personal values and build actions that align with those values. It includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It offers concrete strategies to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with mood, stress, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bri will help clients decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time. They can also let people choose whether to use video or phone based on what helps them stay focused and comfortable.
