About Harriet
Harriet Mccune welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck after life changes. She writes in a direct, upbeat way and invites straightforward conversation to help clients find practical steps forward. Harriet is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing from Texas and she draws on nearly two decades of work in counseling settings.
She uses plain talk and active listening to learn what matters to each person. Sessions often start with the client’s story, a review of current stressors, and small goals to try between appointments.
Background and approach
Harriet helps people manage worry, mood swings, grief, and relationship problems using clear, step-by-step ideas. Her background includes a psychology degree from the University of Houston and a master’s in counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She spent time as a psychiatric technician and a school counselor, then worked for many years with grant-funded agencies serving victims of crime.
That mix of clinical and community experience shaped a practical style. Harriet blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She teaches skills for anger management, coping with ADHD symptoms, reducing anxiety, and facing grief.
Homework and practice between sessions are common. Therapy with Harriet centers on understanding a person’s history, current priorities, and values. She aims to empower people with new responses to old problems.
The pace is collaborative and goal-focused, with progress measured in small, tangible changes.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s goals, offering support and reflection to help people tell their story and make decisions. This approach is useful for the full range of life problems, from grief to relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood disorders.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood. It can support stress reduction, coping with chronic pain or illness, and better emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Harriet will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. Together they set short-term goals and adjust methods based on what is or isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when life shifts.
