About Harriet

Harriet Mccune is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, or the stress of daily life. She also works with issues around addiction, intimacy, parenting, ADHD, and codependency.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions start by gathering a clear picture of a person's history, current concerns, and values. Harriet listens, gives people space to tell their story, and offers straightforward strategies to try between sessions.

Harriet draws on several methods to keep work focused and useful. She uses client-centered conversations to clarify goals and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable ones. Mindfulness techniques bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change, and solution-focused work to set small, achievable steps. For anger, she describes a simple three-part plan - step away when needed, apologize when appropriate, and practice responding differently to repeated triggers.

Her background includes a psychology degree from the University of Houston Central Campus and a master's in counseling from the University of Houston Clearlake. Much of her early work was in grant-funded agencies and with victims of crime, as well as roles in school counseling. That mix of settings informs a practical, skills-based approach for people trying to regain a sense of control.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person set their own goals. Online sessions can still use open, supportive conversation to clarify what matters most and decide practical steps to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In an online session CBT can include tracking patterns, testing small experiments, and reviewing results together. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple grounding practices. These can be coached step-by-step during a virtual meeting and practiced between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with brief, solution-focused steps and adding CBT or mindfulness skills as needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins when life is busy. Discuss scheduling and any practical preferences during the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine.
