About Bri
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 14 years of experience, Bri Harless helps people facing addiction, trauma, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She works with individuals who are ready to tackle stress, grief, relationship and family issues, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. Bri uses multiple clinical approaches to match what a person needs.
Bri spent the early part of her career working with people and families affected by substance use. For the last several years she has practiced in a private setting assisting people with a wide range of mental health concerns. That mix of community and private practice informs how she frames treatment and what she offers in sessions.
She emphasizes learning about each person first and then choosing methods that fit their life. She describes her role as guide, helper, and teacher, and focuses on practical tools clients can use outside sessions. Approaches she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
Sessions often focus on skills for managing emotions, making changes that align with values, and improving relationships. Bri has worked extensively with people overcoming depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders, and with those dealing with life stage adjustments.
Reaching out can feel difficult; Bri asks for an initial step such as completing a brief questionnaire to match needs and schedule a session. Her practice aims to identify workable strategies and to build on each person’s strengths.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation to change habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on understanding the person’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. That approach supports self-directed change and problem solving. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bri will get to know the client and then recommend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoid travel time. They also let a person use therapies like ACT and CBT in real-life settings and practice skills between meetings. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.Sheet 3
