About Mitchell

Dr. Mitchell Harris is a licensed psychologist in Utah with 18 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and anger. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they think and feel.

He focuses on practical, everyday steps that make life easier to manage.

Dr. Harris draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. He collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and situation. This means planning clear steps and checking progress along the way.

How therapeutic techniques translate to online care

Dr. Harris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problem-solving and coping skills. One common approach is mood and behavior work that helps people notice triggers, track responses, and practice different reactions to reduce anger and anxiety. Another frequently used method focuses on processing trauma in a paced way, helping people tell their story, build safety, and learn grounding strategies to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Together they set small, measurable goals and adjust methods as progress is tracked, so the approach evolves with the client's needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy can be added around work or caregiving. It can also let people use lower-bandwidth options when internet quality varies. Ask about available formats when you match and schedule.
