Graham Harriman, LPC

Graham Harriman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. He works from a person-centered, existential perspective and brings mindfulness and mind-body awareness into sessions. His approach is direct and humane, focused on helping people navigate big life shifts and hard feelings.

Graham draws on a background that includes community mental health, program management, and public health planning. He has worked alongside service providers and people with HIV to design and direct services, and he coauthored a book about community responses to AIDS and mutual aid. That mix of clinical and community work shapes his practical view of therapy.

In sessions he pays attention to how people relate to themselves and to others. He uses talk, mindfulness exercises, and reflective questions to help people clarify values and make decisions. He also brings experience addressing substance use and harm reduction, including work with crystal methamphetamine use.

Graham has training in couples work, group therapy, sex and intimacy concerns, and LGBTQ sexuality. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, anger, ADHD, midlife transitions, and career or relationship stress. He also supports people coping with serious illness, end-of-life issues, and immigration-related stress.

Clients can expect an unflinching but compassionate style that balances direct feedback with open listening. Sessions often focus on practical steps, new coping strategies, and understanding the stories people tell about their lives.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Graham works from a person-centered lens that puts the client's experience first, helping people name what matters and decide the next steps. This approach supports people who feel stuck, uncertain about values, or unsure how to make a change.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills in a practical way to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can be useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Graham will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and homework with more flexibility while keeping the focus on practical, real-world changes.
