01About Bri
Bri Harless greets people who are worn down by stress, grief, relationship strain, or addiction with calm focus and practical steps. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who listens first and helps clients figure out what matters most to them. Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful, so people can try tools that fit their daily lives.
She holds a master’s degree in Counseling with a focus on professional counseling and marriage and family therapy.
Background and approach
Bri has 14 years of clinical experience, including many years supporting people affected by substance use and later working in independent practice. That mix gives her familiarity with both group and individual work as well as common life transitions. Bri uses a range of approaches depending on the person’s needs.
She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns. She describes herself as a guide, teacher, and helper rather than someone who prescribes one single method. Sessions focus on short, usable skills and on building insight that links to everyday choices.
Clients leave with tools they can actually use between sessions. Bri emphasizes autonomy and works to tailor strategies so they fit each person’s routine and responsibilities. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family concerns.
People seeking support in Michigan can expect practical conversation and collaborative planning about next steps.

04Online support
Practical therapy methods adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how patterns in relationships affect emotions and helps people create different interaction habits that feel safer and more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bri will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they decide what to try first, then adjust based on what is helpful. The process emphasizes choice and practical tools rather than one fixed plan.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face to face when they can, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat allows brief check-ins or hands-on skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between sessions.
