About Mitchell

Dr. Mitchell Harris is a UT Psychologist with 18 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and related issues. Sessions focus on understanding what patterns from the past continue to affect daily life now.

He talks with clients about how family of origin roles and expectations shape current relationships and behavior. Conversations look at attachment and communication patterns people learned growing up. He also addresses practical problems like work stress, parenting strain, grief, and substance issues alongside emotional concerns.

In session he encourages clear, direct conversation about thoughts and feelings. He aims to reduce isolation by helping people name repetitive reactions and try different responses. That can include checking how relationships, anger, or commitment worries show up in everyday situations.

Dr. Harris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on concrete skills as well as understanding. He will work with clients on coping strategies for anxiety and depression, steps to manage bipolar symptoms, and approaches for improving intimacy and communication.

People who contact him are guided through an initial matching process and then schedule a first session. He practices in Utah and conducts work in English. Costs vary with location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Dr. Harris works with evidence-based techniques that focus on present problems and skills. Cognitive-based methods look at unhelpful thinking and teach ways to test and change thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral strategies help people try new actions, rebuild routines, and manage symptoms of bipolar disorder through concrete steps.

He also addresses attachment and relationship patterns by mapping how early family roles affect current interactions. That approach highlights communication habits and recurring reactions so clients can experiment with different responses in everyday life. Choosing which techniques to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client decide together based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Confirm specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Reach out through the platform to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so format details can be confirmed.
