About Monriel
North Carolina LCMHC Monriel Harbison has four years of clinical experience as a licensed counselor. She focuses on anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors. She also helps people facing addiction concerns and trouble sleeping. Monriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques in her work.
Monriel talks with clients about the immediate problems they bring, like racing thoughts, irritability, anger, and low mood. She breaks down patterns that keep those problems going and offers simple, practical tools to try between sessions. Conversations move from identifying what’s happening to testing small changes that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
She pays special attention to stress tied to roles and responsibilities, including career pressures and caregiving fatigue. Communication problems and self-esteem concerns are common topics in her sessions. She also supports women coping with mood issues and building self-love.
Monriel blends structured skill teaching with short, goal-focused work. That can mean learning emotion regulation strategies, trying brief behavioral experiments, or using motivational interviewing to address addictive behaviors. Sessions aim to leave people with clear steps to practice after the appointment.
Her background includes work in addiction services and general mental health settings prior to licensure. She holds the LCMHC credential and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Online sessions with this therapist draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches specific emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior. Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review current concerns, preferences, and short-term goals and then recommend strategies to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs change. Confirm exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help integrate skill practice into everyday life while the therapist and client decide together which techniques to use.Sheet 3
