About Harriet

Harriet Mccune, LPC, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship hurts, grief, or addictive behaviors. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and mood challenges. Her tone is upbeat and encouraging, and she offers a straightforward, practical way to talk through problems and build new habits.

Harriet uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She focuses on hearing your story, gathering relevant history, and understanding your values and priorities. Sessions often involve learning small skills to manage anger, reduce stress, or change a response pattern that keeps problems going.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Houston, Central Campus, and a master’s in counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She has 19 years of experience, including work in agencies serving victims of crime and time as a school counselor and psychiatric technician early in her career.

In practical terms, Harriet offers a calm, hopeful presence and patient listening. She may use brief solution-focused tasks, motivational techniques to spark change, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts. Progress usually requires practice between sessions and small steps taken over weeks.

People who prefer a cheerful, committed therapist may find her approach helpful. She aims to walk alongside clients as they sort out challenges, make clearer decisions, and work toward feeling more capable and engaged in daily life.

How Harriet’s Methods Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience so you feel heard and respected. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental person to talk things through and clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can support people who want to slow down strong emotions and respond more intentionally.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping appointments without travel. Online therapy can make it easier to attend from different places and to continue care across distances. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm available session types before booking to ensure they match your needs.
