Pridgett Harmon, LCPC

Pridgett Harmon is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and trauma. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support during that process.

With four years of professional experience, Harmon supports people working through grief, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, and LGBT-related concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, career questions, and the fallout from major life changes. Her work includes supporting people with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Her practice considers a broad range of related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care experiences, body image, and codependency. She also attends to less commonly discussed areas like BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when clients bring them up. The focus stays practical - talking through what matters now and finding manageable next steps.

Sessions are collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Harmon listens for what is working and what is getting in the way, then helps set clear, achievable goals. She pairs encouragement with concrete tools so people can try new approaches between appointments.

People looking for help with addictions, trauma, or ongoing anxiety can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their concerns and plan realistic changes. Before booking, confirm current session formats to match logistical needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clients find practical techniques helpful, and a few evidence-based approaches fit well with that goal. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavioral changes to reduce symptoms and increase daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on substance-related struggles by identifying triggers, developing relapse prevention plans, and practicing new routines to support recovery. These methods are meant to be concrete and action-oriented, so clients can try tools between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person's goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Confirm current session formats before booking so they match your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is helpful. It also makes it easier to continue weekly work during job or family schedule changes. Ask about the available session options when you set up the first appointment so logistics fit your day-to-day life.
