Background and approach
He listens closely and brings a positive, can-do attitude to planning next steps. His background includes long clinical experience in Illinois and work with adults and teens. He is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC and also lists experience as a licensed psychologist in Illinois.
That mix informs his calm, reality-based approach to common family challenges. Dr. Harmon often helps people navigate blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, communication problems, infidelity, money and financial stress, and separation or divorce.
He also works with intimacy concerns and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Parenting is a focus area he discusses openly, drawing on his own experience as a father of three boys. Sessions combine practical tools with supportive listening.
He leans on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape short-term plans. For parents who need clear next steps, he offers direction and follow-through to help apply changes between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps that match those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and parenting choices by building small, value-driven habits. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical next steps and what will look different after a change. It is useful when parents or partners want quick, actionable strategies to test between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they set short-term targets and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real situations.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use gesture and facial cues when useful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, ongoing planning, or when people prefer text to talk. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare, and other commitments.
