About Harriet
Harriet Mccune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, grief, and life changes. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.
Harriet uses straightforward conversation to help people get a new perspective. Sessions focus on understanding a person’s history, current difficulties, and what matters most to them. She encourages practical steps and regular practice rather than instant fixes.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Houston and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Early work as a psychiatric technician and a school counselor shaped her hands-on approach to common life problems.
In sessions she draws on methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For example, her approach to anger management uses simple, repeatable options and ongoing practice to change reactions over time.
She has experience working with victims of crime through grant-funded agency work and has supported people across a wide range of life circumstances. Harriet aims to listen, offer practical skills, and help people build more effective responses to stress and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Harriet commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, understanding a person’s values, and building a collaborative relationship that supports change.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help with stress and emotional regulation, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that fit into daily life. These methods aim to give practical tools and small skills people can use between sessions to manage moods and reactions.
Choosing the right approach is usually a joint decision. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what’s working or not working. That collaborative process helps shape the plan and the skills practiced in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or school, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing which format fits best is part of the first scheduling steps, so practical arrangements can be set to suit everyday life.
