Graham Harriman, LPC

Graham Harriman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience in mental health work. He combines person-centered listening with a practical focus on mindfulness and mind-body awareness to help people facing complex life challenges. He works from a nonreligious spiritual perspective that centers the relationship people have with themselves and with others.

He has a varied background that includes roles as a therapist, mental health program manager, and public health program director. That work included planning community services and coordinating with HIV service providers to help direct resources where they were needed. He also coauthored a book titled The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology.

In sessions he pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and bodily experience connect. He uses mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns, and he leans on client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to each person. He also draws on existential ideas to address meaning, purpose, and life transitions.

Graham has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, depression and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and career or midlife challenges. His practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and to communities often underrepresented in mental health care.

People who choose him can expect straightforward language, practical tools, and a collaborative pace. He aims to help people manage stress and make deliberate choices that fit their values and daily life.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It means the therapist uses empathic listening and asks questions to clarify what the client wants to change or explore, helping with relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life direction.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. In practice this can help with intense emotions, anger, and patterns that keep repeating in relationships or daily life.

Existential ideas show up as a focus on meaning, choice, and how to live with uncertainty. That approach can help people facing midlife changes, grief, aging-related questions, or a sense of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is often a process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients can expect discussion about aims, practical exercises, and periodic check-ins on progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking. When arranging online work, think about what fits your routine - shorter check-ins can fit a work break, audio-only calls can use less bandwidth, and scheduled sessions can provide structure during life transitions. These practical features help make therapy usable alongside daily responsibilities.
