About Maureen
LMHC in New York with 12 years of experience, Maureen Harris focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify immediate steps and clearer goals. Maureen talks in plain terms and offers practical tools alongside collaborative conversation.
Maureen draws on more than a decade of work across outpatient and inpatient substance use settings, college counseling, group work, life coaching, and care management. That range means she often combines short-term skills with longer discussions about patterns that keep problems returning. Sessions typically include goal-setting, skill practice, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
Her client-centered stance gives people the lead in sessions. She listens for what the person already wants and where motivation might be strengthened. From that starting point she introduces CBT tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.
Maureen also uses solution-focused techniques to find small, concrete steps that move a person toward their immediate goals. Those steps can address mood, workplace strain, grief, or family dynamics without insisting on a single path forward. She names practical tactics so people can try them between sessions.
She is skilled in working with issues connected to LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, and women’s workplace and life-purpose questions. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered in New York. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and priorities. Online sessions use that same stance by letting the client set topics and pacing while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This approach helps when someone is sorting values, identity, or relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. Online sessions can include teaching thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework reviews to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing builds on existing reasons to change and helps people find new motivation; over video or phone this can look like guided questions, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then shape sessions together. That means methods can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so skill practice can be scheduled between meetings.
