About Harrison
Harrison Burdo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He centers sessions on the person in front of him, adjusting methods to fit each person's history and current needs. His style aims to be practical and compassionate, helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the fallout from trauma.
He supports people facing self-esteem struggles and major life changes. He also helps with family-related concerns, coping after separation, and issues that stem from attachment or abandonment.
Background and approach
Harrison pays close attention to patterns such as obsessive or compulsive behavior and mood shifts. His work combines listening with concrete steps. Sessions often include talking through past experiences, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of responding.
He focuses on small, sustainable changes that build confidence and improve daily functioning. Harrison brings five years of clinical experience to his practice. That background includes guiding people through grief, identity questions, and multicultural concerns.
He aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can test new approaches and notice real change. People who contact him can expect a collaborative process. He encourages honesty about doubts and goals, and adjusts pacing to match what feels manageable.
Sessions emphasize gaining clearer self-understanding and practical strategies for coping.
Person-centered care and flexible online approaches
Harrison works from a person-centered, integrative perspective that prioritizes the client's experience. Person-centered work focuses on deep listening and building a trusting relationship, which helps people feel understood and able to explore difficult feelings. Integrative methods mean he draws on different evidence-based techniques as needed to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns.He commonly blends approaches that include grounding and emotion regulation skills to manage anxiety and trauma reactions. These techniques teach practical steps for calming the body and reducing overwhelm. He also uses cognitive-style strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses, which can help with obsessive or compulsive behaviors and low self-esteem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This shared approach lets clients shape their care and test different methods until they find what fits.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping consistent progress.
