About Harriet
Harriet Mccune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, and codependency. She speaks plain language and listens with patience. Many who come to her are trying to feel less overwhelmed or find new ways to cope after loss or life changes.
She uses straightforward strategies aimed at practical change. Sessions look at what is happening now, what has worked before, and small steps that can make daily life easier. Harriet often focuses on skills for managing anger, improving communication, and reducing anxiety and depression symptoms.
Harriet has worked in counseling for 19 years, including time with a grant-funded agency serving victims of crime. Her background also includes work as a school counselor and time as a psychiatric technician, giving her experience with a wide range of life challenges across ages.
She trained in psychology at the University of Houston Central Campus and earned a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 2003. That mix of education and hands-on roles informs how she gathers a person’s history and priorities before deciding on next steps.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. She may use Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution-Focused methods depending on goals. Harriet aims to help people build stronger responses, try new behaviors, and feel more able to move forward.
How her methods translate to online counseling
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective so goals come from the client. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to tell their story and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it can support coping with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and emotional ups and downs.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Harriet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep consistent contact while navigating work, caregiving, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can help you choose how to schedule sessions so therapy becomes a workable part of your routine.
