How Harriet works
Harriet has practiced for 19 years, including work with a grant-funded agency that served people affected by crime. Her background includes a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and earlier work as a psychiatric technician and school counselor. She draws on that range of experience when a client needs help sorting history and current stressors.
In session she often starts by gathering a clear history, identifying the most pressing problem, and agreeing on practical goals. She teaches skills such as stepping away from anger, making calm apologies, and changing repetitive patterns that cause distress. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and usually requires practice outside sessions.
Her style is direct but warm. Harriet aims to foster hope and build everyday skills that reduce symptoms and improve relationships. People who value a caring listener who also offers concrete tools often find her approach helpful.

Online support options
How Harriet Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard, clarify their values, and find their own solutions through steady support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can ease stress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harriet will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that match those needs. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus on short-term solutions, skill building, or deeper exploration, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues; phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to include in a busy life.
