About Graham
Graham Harriman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing among a range of concerns and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
He uses mindfulness and mind-body awareness to help people notice what they are feeling in their bodies and minds. Graham frames work around the relationship people have with themselves and with others. He also brings a nonreligious spiritual perspective when that fits a person's needs.
Graham's background includes roles as a mental health therapist, program manager, and public health program director. He has worked on community services planning and resource allocation related to HIV services. He is also a coauthor of a book titled The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology.
His clinical interests include addictions, depression and anxiety, intimacy and sexuality concerns, grief and trauma, ADHD, and men's issues. He also supports people facing career strain, midlife transition, aging concerns, and chronic illness challenges such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.
In sessions he draws on client-centered methods, dialectical behavior strategies, existential questions, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to clarify goals, develop coping skills, and open up new ways of relating to oneself and others. People who value reflection and practical strategies may find his style a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions to problems. This approach can help with self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening relationships. It can be useful for mood difficulties, anger, and stress that feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and choose methods that fit your needs. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins on high-stress days and let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or being on camera is difficult. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
