Sudonna Harris, LMHC

Sudonna Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 8 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to life transitions. Her practice also includes support for perinatal mood and anxiety concerns such as postpartum depression, as well as work with clients navigating career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and relationships.

She addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication struggles, and feelings of isolation with practical skills and careful attention to each person’s history and goals. Her focus on forgiveness, self-love, and rebuilding purpose helps clients move from survival to greater resilience and self-understanding.

She partners with clients to set realistic goals, build coping strategies, and foster lasting growth at a pace that feels right for each individual.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Sudonna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced, actionable thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. Mindfulness techniques can support regulation, reduce rumination, and improve coping with daily stressors.

When trauma is a central concern, Trauma-Focused Therapy provides targeted strategies to process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on mood and relationships. This approach emphasizes safety, pacing, and skill-building to promote recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sudonna works with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
