About Monriel
Monriel Harbison is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on helping clients gain practical skills to manage strong emotions and racing thoughts. Monriel aims to help people sleep better, reduce irritability, and feel more in control of daily life.
With four years as a licensed therapist and additional experience in the mental health field, she draws from practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions focus on building resilience and practical coping strategies rather than long theoretical discussion. In sessions people learn concrete ways to notice triggers, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice skills for calmer reactions.
Monriel helps clients set short-term goals and track small changes over time. The work often includes simple exercises for sleep, stress reduction, and self-care that fit into a busy life. She also supports people dealing with addictions, career stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
Communication problems, mood difficulties, and issues around self-love and women's concerns are additional areas she addresses. Monriel practices in North Carolina and conducts work in English. Her style is collaborative and practical, aiming to move people from feeling controlled by emotions to feeling more capable and steady.

Practical approaches for online emotional regulation
Monriel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients try short experiments and see what works in daily life.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT skills are practical tools you can practice between sessions to reduce impulsive reactions and manage intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monriel collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, challenges, and preferences. Together they set clear short-term goals and review progress so techniques are adjusted as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills practice, phone sessions can be a simpler check-in, chat is good for brief support, and messaging works for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
