About Graham
Graham Harriman is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oregon with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing anger and related struggles such as depression, anxiety, relationship stress, substance use, and issues around intimacy and sexuality.
He uses a person-centered approach that focuses on noticing thoughts, body sensations, and what matters to each person. Mindfulness and mind/body awareness are regular parts of sessions. He also brings existential ideas about purpose and the relationship between self and others.
Graham trained in couples work, group therapy, and sexual and intimacy concerns, and has particular experience with LGBTQ sexuality and harm reduction for substance use, including crystal methamphetamine. He has worked across clinical and public health settings as a therapist, program manager, and public health director.
His background includes community services planning and collaboration with HIV service providers to help allocate resources. He coauthored a book called The Healing Power of Community: Mutual Aid, AIDS, and Social Transformation in Psychology.
In sessions he talks through concrete skills and perspectives. That can include attention training, managing impulses, improving communication, and making practical plans for coping with stress. He also addresses longer questions about meaning, identity, and how relationships shape behavior.
People looking for someone who combines practical skill-building with broader life questions may find his approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options and any other logistical details.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Graham uses client-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) lines of work in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to you, and letting those priorities guide the work. DBT brings practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsive reactions that show up as anger.He also integrates existential ideas about meaning and relationships when those topics come up. That helps when anger links to identity, life transitions, or questions about purpose. The therapist will work with the client to decide which combination of approaches fits best based on concerns, goals, and personal preferences.r>
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use different communication styles such as phone or video when appropriate. Those pragmatic choices help people practice emotion-regulation skills in everyday contexts and keep progress moving between sessions.
