Monriel Harbison

Monriel Harbison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental approach and works collaboratively with clients to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning.

She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and teaches practical skills for calming racing thoughts and controlling irritability. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and boosting self-esteem so clients can make steady progress. Monriel also supports people dealing with stress, career strain, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches are used to break problems into manageable steps and create habits that support lasting change. Treatment is collaborative and tailored to each person's goals and pace.

Monriel has four years of experience as a licensed counselor and several additional years in the mental health field. She works with issues related to addiction and ADHD alongside mood concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in North Carolina.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Monriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide work in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, stressors, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels doable.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and check in during a lunch break or between errands. It can also allow shorter focused check-ins when that suits a person's routine. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt CBT and DBT skills to remote sessions so people can practice techniques between meetings.
