About Harrison
Harrison Burdo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. His practice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control struggles, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and related mood and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.
Harrison uses a person-centered and integrative approach. That means he blends techniques from several evidence-based methods to match the needs and history of each client. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that keep old hurts alive.
He aims to build a collaborative working relationship. Conversations look at how past attachments and life stories shape present feelings and choices. For someone dealing with shame or guilt, this can mean gentle examination of self-blame, tracing where it formed, and testing alternative ways of understanding those actions and identities.
Harrison pays attention to culture and context when discussing problems like masculinity, multicultural pressures, or family expectations. He also helps people manage symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, compulsive urges, and mood swings with straightforward strategies to reduce immediate distress.
People who choose him are often seeking practical, talk-based work that combines focused skill practice with reflection on meaning and values. He asks questions, offers observations, and supports clients as they experiment with new behaviors and perspectives.
How Harrison brings integrative methods to online work
Harrison draws from person-centered and integrative methods to guide online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on the relationship in the room, listening closely to how someone describes their guilt or shame and responding in ways that clarify meaning. Integrative approaches mix practical techniques from evidence-based therapies with reflective conversation to suit each person’s needs.For issues like anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors he often combines brief skills practice with exploration of underlying patterns. Skills might include grounding or behavioral experiments to test unhelpful beliefs, while the reflective work traces how past attachments shaped current self-judgments. The aim is collaborative: he and the client decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into daily life. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and keep therapy during workday breaks.
