About Harrison

Harrison Burdo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers his work on the individual person. He uses a person-centered, integrative approach and adapts sessions to each client's history, needs, and goals. He aims to create a respectful space where people can explore difficult feelings and start making practical changes.

He commonly helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports people coping with life changes and relationship challenges. Men’s issues and topics such as abandonment, attachment, and communication problems are among the areas he addresses.

Harrison brings five years of clinical experience to his practice in New York. He describes his style as compassionate and curious, and focuses on building a collaborative bond with the person in therapy. That relationship is used to understand patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice healthier behaviors.

Sessions are tailored rather than formulaic. Harrison draws on multiple evidence-based therapeutic techniques and chooses interventions that fit each person's situation. He balances exploration of past experiences with concrete skills for managing symptoms and everyday stressors.

English is the language used in sessions and international clients are not currently accepted. People who want to begin can select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Harrison describes his orientation as person-centered and integrative. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace, helping them feel understood while they name what matters most. Integrative work means combining techniques from different evidence-based approaches to meet specific goals and symptoms.

Two common techniques he draws from are trauma-informed methods and skills-based strategies for anxiety and mood. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past hurt affects current feelings and relationships, and help people slowly build tolerance for difficult memories. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving emotion regulation, and handling impulsive reactions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try, adjust the plan as needed, and set small, measurable goals. This collaborative process helps ensure the work matches the person's needs and preferences.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. People should pick a setup that helps them be calm and focused during the session, and discuss any format questions during the initial scheduling.
