How Harriette works
Harriette draws from cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She blends this with psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. Harriette earned a master’s degree in professional counseling in 2012 and holds the LPC credential.
She has twelve years of clinical experience and has worked in mental rehabilitation and intensive outpatient settings. That background informs her work with people facing complex or persistent problems. In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly.
She helps clients set clear goals and develops a practical plan that fits daily life. Progress is tracked with regular check-ins and adjustments as needed. Her approach includes trauma-focused techniques when trauma or abuse is part of the story.
Harriette also collaborates with psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and social service agencies when care benefits from a team. She welcomes conversations about what a helpful, realistic plan would look like for each person.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Harriette uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and habits tied to addiction by teaching concrete skills and practice exercises.She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to examine how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. That approach can help people understand repeating patterns and gain more choice in how they respond.
Trauma-focused therapy is used when trauma or abuse is part of someone’s story. This work focuses on reducing trauma-related symptoms and building steady coping strategies so daily life feels more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are updated over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Online sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for more in-depth work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can help with shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to stay connected when in-person visits are difficult.
