About Margie
Margie Harper uses a client-centered approach to help people feel heard and understood. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. Margie focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns.
She aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and grounded in real life. In sessions she listens closely and helps people outline clear goals. She blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when useful.
How Margie works
That means working on thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and building skills for handling strong emotions. Margie also uses narrative and solution-focused work to help people reframe painful stories and identify small, achievable steps forward. This approach is often helpful for grief, trauma and abuse, abandonment, attachment struggles, and issues around intimacy.
She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions without getting stuck there. Parents who feel overwhelmed, people coping with career stress, and those facing major life changes can find clear strategies in sessions. Margie also addresses concerns like infidelity, communication problems, blended family issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward, caring, and goal-oriented. Therapy can include short-term plans or longer work depending on a person’s needs. Margie supports people as they try new skills between sessions and checks in on what is working.
The focus is on making real changes that fit daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Margie often uses client-centered work to start, focusing on listening and understanding each person’s priorities and struggles. Client-centered therapy helps people feel respected and shapes therapy around what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday problems.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when intense emotions or impulsive reactions cause difficulty. DBT offers strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read visual cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping plans, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
