About Harriet
Harriet Mccune is a licensed professional counselor who helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma. She offers a calm, upbeat presence and listens patiently so parents and individuals can tell their story. Her aim is to give a fresh perspective and practical steps toward feeling better day to day.
Harriet uses straightforward, goal-focused work. She draws on client-centered meetings where the person’s values guide sessions.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing help people find small, doable changes that add up. Her approach grew from nearly two decades of practice, including work with a grant-funded agency focusing on victims of crimes.
That background shaped her experience with trauma, grief, and family conflict. She has supported children, adolescents, couples, and parents through school-based counseling and community services. In sessions she gathers a clear history, listens for what matters most, and helps set practical priorities.
For anger, for example, she teaches simple steps to change reactions and then practices new responses over time. Clients work at their own pace, building skills through repetition and coaching. Harriet earned a psychology degree from University of Houston Central Campus and a master’s in counseling from University of Houston Clearlake.
She holds an LPC - licensed professional counselor - in Texas and brings 19 years of clinical experience to family and parenting concerns and related life changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Harriet commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and helps the person clarify values and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. These approaches suit many family and parenting concerns because they combine listening with concrete skills parents can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which methods feel most useful for each family or individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and family schedules and to revisit short exercises or messages between appointments. For parents juggling many demands, the range of online options can make ongoing support more manageable and consistent.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
