About Harriette
Harriette Wade offers help for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, parenting stress, addiction, trauma, and questions about identity and intimacy. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and brings a practical, grounded approach to therapy. Harriette writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
She focuses on clear goals and realistic steps. Sessions look at how thoughts and habits affect day-to-day life and relationships.
Background and approach
Harriette uses evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms, reduce conflict, and build coping skills. With 12 years of clinical experience, Harriette has worked in settings that include mental health rehabilitation and intensive outpatient care. That background means she is familiar with both everyday struggles and more complex patterns like mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and co-occurring conditions.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their own life and helps them set priorities. The work can include short-term problem solving, longer-term exploration of patterns, or focused trauma work depending on the need.
Practical supports are part of the process. Harriette often coordinates with other professionals when helpful and helps people build skills for coping, self-care, and improving relationships. She aims to create plans that fit each person’s life and goals.
Online approaches that meet people where they are
Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it focuses on clear skills and experiments that can be practiced between sessions.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects current functioning. This work aims to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to teach strategies for emotion regulation and safety in daily life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Harriette will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then recommend ways of working that fit those needs. That plan can change as the relationship develops and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact when possible. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, brief coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work around family, jobs, and other demands without traveling to an office.
