About Memendra
Memendra Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of practice. She is based in Alabama and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and big life changes.
She focuses on straightforward, practical work. Sessions look at what is getting in the way of daily functioning and what small changes might help. She treats struggles such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, commitment worries, and the strain of caregiving or divorce.
Memendra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers the client's own perspective. She describes clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. Conversations aim to increase clarity, reduce avoidance, and develop realistic steps for change.
Her experience includes supporting people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, fatherhood and fertility issues, and the effects of trauma from natural or human-caused disasters. She also meets people working through drug and alcohol addiction and the emotional fallout of family conflict.
Practical problems and emotions are addressed together. Sessions tend to be goal-focused and action-oriented, while also making room to process difficult feelings. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site's online process.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Two evidence-based approaches often used in this kind of work are structured problem-solving and behavioral skills training. Structured problem-solving breaks down worries into specific, manageable steps so you can try changes and see what helps. Behavioral skills training teaches practical techniques for coping with anxiety, urges, or relationship conflicts and then practices them in real life.Another helpful approach is strengths-focused coaching within therapy. This looks at what you already do well and adapts those skills to current challenges, whether that is setting boundaries, managing cravings, or improving communication. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to figure out which approaches fit goals, needs, and preferences.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule counseling around work, family, or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and offer flexibility if travel or mobility is a concern. Licensed professionals commonly help clients translate skills learned in sessions into day-to-day routines, which can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
