Ngozi Harris, LCPC

Ngozi Harris is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 12 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that people bring strengths that can help them overcome challenges. Harris emphasizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady support throughout that beginning step and the work that follows.

She works collaboratively with clients to identify and build on existing resources, guiding practical steps for change while honoring individual values and goals. Harris frames the therapeutic process around empowerment and resilience, helping people access their own knowledge and abilities as they navigate life transitions and emotional challenges. Her aim is to create a respectful, supportive space where progress is framed as steady, client-led growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used when people want to reduce the impact of stress, anxiety, or persistent unhelpful thinking by focusing on practical values-based steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is a goal-oriented approach commonly used for anxiety, depression, and other mood-related concerns by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, separating the person from the problem to open space for new perspectives and possibilities. This approach can be useful for reframing identity-related issues and past experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Ngozi Harris works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access care from home or elsewhere, fit appointments into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support even when life is changing.
