About Bri

Bri Harless is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She aims to understand each person first and then tailor steps that fit their life. Bri talks plainly and works to make therapy useful and understandable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

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

Background and approach

Much of her early work involved people affected by substance use, and more recently she has been in independent practice helping with a wide range of mental health concerns. Over 14 years she has supported people managing depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma related to abuse, and substance use disorders.

She also helps people facing grief, parenting stress, anger, and life transitions. Bri draws on a mix of approaches so the work matches the person rather than forcing a single method. In sessions she takes on the roles of guide, teacher, and helper.

She values client autonomy and focuses on practical skills clients can use between appointments. Her aim is to find tools that fit a person’s routine and goals so progress feels doable. Bri knows starting therapy can feel awkward.

She welcomes straightforward conversations about concerns and goals. Her practice style centers on listening first, then building a plan together that feels realistic and relevant.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them and then take steps toward what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and reduce destructive patterns in close relationships by teaching specific interaction skills and exercises.

Bri approaches finding the right method as a team effort. She listens to what matters to the person, discusses different ways of working, and helps choose approaches that match goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made so the method stays useful.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins or shorter touchpoints, and these options make scheduling more flexible for busy days.
