About Bri

Bri Harless is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people navigate hard moments. She meets people where they are and aims to build practical plans that fit everyday life. Bri emphasizes respect for each person’s autonomy and aims to make therapy useful and understandable.

She earned a master’s degree in Counseling with a focus on professional counseling and marriage and family therapy. Since 2009 Bri has provided individual, couples, and group counseling in a range of settings.

Background and approach

Early in her career she worked largely with people affected by substance use and later shifted to independent practice work with diverse mental health concerns. Over more than a decade she has helped people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use disorders, PTSD, life-stage transitions, and parenting stress.

Bri describes her role as guide, helper, and teacher and prioritizes learning about each person before choosing methods. She avoids a one-size-fits-all stance and adapts tools to fit a person’s life and needs. Bri draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to match what will help most, including Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered care among others.

She focuses on usable skills and personal values so people can act on what matters to them. Bri aims to make the process straightforward and practical. Reaching out for help can feel uncomfortable, and Bri acknowledges that step.

She brings hope and a collaborative attitude, and she looks forward to working with people who want to make change and build coping strategies that last.

How Bri's Approaches Guide Online Work

Existential therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It helps people facing big life transitions, grief, anxiety, or doubts about purpose by inviting honest reflection and clearer values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them while taking action toward what matters. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with unwanted feelings.

Bri uses these approaches alongside client-centered care to shape sessions that match each person. She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. Together the therapist and client talk about goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help people maintain steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
