About Graham

Graham Harriman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience working in mental health and public health settings in Oregon. He blends person-centered care with mindfulness and existential ideas. He emphasizes a nonreligious spiritual perspective and pays close attention to how people relate to themselves and to others.

He uses straightforward conversation to help people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and ADHD. Sessions often look at daily habits, relationships, and practical ways to manage stress or sleep.

Background and approach

He also speaks directly about intimacy, sexuality, and issues that affect LGBT people without assuming any single path forward. Graham's background includes time as a therapist, program manager, and public health director. That work involved coordinating services for people with HIV and helping design community programs.

He is also a coauthor of a book called The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology. In sessions he tends to listen first, then collaborate on goals and small steps. He uses tools from mindfulness, narrative work, and motivational interviewing to help people make changes they want.

He keeps language plain and aims for concrete strategies rather than jargon. People typically discuss coping with life changes, grief, anger, career stresses, and relationship struggles. Graham frames work as a partnership and adjusts pace and focus to match what feels useful to each person.

How his approaches translate to online work

Graham draws from client-centered therapy and mindfulness approaches in much of his online work. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is guided by the client's priorities and the therapist listens closely to understand what matters most. This approach helps with relationship concerns, anxiety, and figuring out life direction. Mindfulness therapy focuses on simple awareness skills and breathing or body awareness exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep and attention.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, especially skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those tools can help when anger, mood swings, or overwhelming feelings make daily life harder. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches and skills fit their goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full-session conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option when someone needs a longer talk without video. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting to see what helps most.
