Sudonna Harris , LMHC

Sudonna Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also includes support for perinatal mood and anxiety concerns, including postpartum depression, as well as compassion fatigue, career-related difficulties, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity.

Harris takes a collaborative, client-centered approach that emphasizes respectful listening and genuine empathy. She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment, and she helps clients develop practical strategies for coping with life changes, relationship and attachment difficulties, and symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. Her training in cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques informs interventions that target unhelpful thinking patterns and increase present-moment awareness. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when addressing acute stressors or past wounds.

Whether addressing abandonment and attachment concerns, infertility-related stress, midlife transitions, or struggles with guilt and shame, Harris aims to partner with each person to identify goals and workable steps forward. She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and recognizes the importance of that first step toward change.

Approach-Based Online Therapy with Sudonna Harris

Sudonna Harris integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy alongside mindfulness techniques to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping individuals clarify goals and build self-trust so they can address issues like self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical skills to manage anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-management practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Harris works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current concerns. She adapts techniques from different models as needed so the plan reflects each person’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access ongoing care without disrupting daily routines. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, accommodate different communication styles, and allow therapists to maintain continuity of support even when in-person visits are not practical.
