About Harriet

Harriet Mccune, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She invites clients to talk about everyday problems and long-standing struggles. People come for help with depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and the effects of trauma or abuse.

Harriet offers a practical, encouraging approach. She listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients set small goals. She uses exercises and conversation to build new responses to anger, anxiety, and low mood. Progress is steady work rather than instant change.

She has 19 years of experience and began her path with a psychology degree from the University of Houston, Central Campus in 1994. She later completed a master’s in counseling from the University of Houston, Clear Lake in 2003 and has worked in school and clinical settings, including grant-funded services for people harmed by crime.

In sessions she gathers history, clarifies priorities, and checks what matters most to each person. Some clients want skills to manage anger; others want help with attention challenges, mood swings, or addiction-related concerns. Harriet explains practical steps and practices so clients can try them between sessions.

She emphasizes collaboration and steady practice. The goal is clearer choices, better coping, and feeling more alive over time. Clients who value a positive, upbeat presence may find her supportive manner helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, mood problems, and patterns that keep coming up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Ask about current formats and scheduling when you start the matching process.
