Margie Harper, LPC

Margie Harper is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She creates a welcoming space where people can talk about their worries and goals without judgment. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling better.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and motivation. Margie also addresses intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and career strain. She pays attention to concerns common in LGBT clients and those coping with family or adoption-related challenges.

Margie draws on several practical approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her tailor sessions to immediate problems and longer patterns alike. Sessions usually involve talking through thoughts and feelings, practicing new skills, and setting small, doable goals.

Her practice also attends to abandonment, attachment issues, infidelity, communication and control problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Margie aims to help people build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and regain a sense of direction after life changes.

If someone is unsure where to start, she encourages a first step of reaching out and describing the current challenge. From there she and the client decide together what to try next and how progress will be measured.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, it can be adjusted so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting sessions happen from a quieter spot at home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between meetings.
