About Ngozi
Ngozi Harris offers supportive psychotherapy for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, mood challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
With 12 years of experience as an Illinois-licensed counselor, she centers clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them identify strengths to move through difficult moments. Her practice addresses issues including self-esteem, parenting and fatherhood concerns, ADHD, career matters, compassion fatigue, and more specific struggles such as abandonment, infidelity, and body image.
Harris draws from evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs, using methods that encourage practical change, greater psychological flexibility, and new meaning-making around past events. She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients clarify goals, try focused strategies, and build skills for coping and resilience.
Prospective clients in Illinois can expect a thoughtful blend of direct interventions and reflective exploration guided by an experienced LCPC clinician.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, focusing instead on values-driven steps that build a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by offering concrete strategies and skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to process and integrate distressing experiences, helping reduce the ongoing impact of past events and supporting recovery from trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor interventions from these methods so treatment fits the individual's situation and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access consistent care from home or work. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to use the communication style that best supports their progress while working with a licensed professional.
