Therapist

Virtual • Arkansas


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate some of the harder things life brings — anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, bipolar disorder, maternal mental health, infertility, eating disorders, and chronic illness, among others. I work with adults of all backgrounds and I'm fully LGBTQIA+-affirming. I see all of my clients via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in Arkansas, we can work together — no commute, no waiting room. I'm warm and I'm direct, and I don't believe in keeping you in therapy longer than you need to be.

Carl Harbison

Carl Harbison

Therapist

Virtual • Arkansas


Carl Harbison Jr. is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, substance use treatment, suicide prevention, and helping individuals navigate some of life's most challenging circumstances. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Central Methodist University in 2013 and his Master of Science in Clinical Counseling in 2016.

Throughout his career, Carl has served as a Crisis Counselor, Mental Health and Substance Use Therapist, and Suicide Prevention and Firearm Safety Specialist. His approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and meeting people where they are. He strives to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly address difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Carl has extensive experience in suicide prevention, crisis response, and mental health education and is an instructor in ASIST, Construction Working Minds, QPR, CPI, and CSSH. His clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, and working with veterans and first responders.

Carl is also a retired U.S. Army veteran, serving on active duty from 1990–1995 and with the Missouri Army National Guard from 2011–2024, including deployments to Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Syria. His military and clinical experiences provide a unique perspective on resilience, trauma, transition, and overcoming adversity.

Outside of his professional work, Carl is a husband, father of six, and grandfather of six. He believes therapy is about more than managing symptoms—it is about helping people develop the insight, confidence, skills, and resilience to move forward and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.
