Harriet Mccune, LPC

Harriet Mccune is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers a calm and positive presence and listens while clients tell their story. Many people come for help with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting struggles, and coping with health or chronic pain. Harriet brings 19 years of work in counseling settings, including grant-funded services for victims of crime. She earned a psychology degree from the University of Houston, Central Campus, and a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Early clinical experience included work as a psychiatric technician and as a school counselor. Her approach is practical and goal-focused. Sessions often start by gathering history, clarifying the presenting problem, and checking what matters most to the client. She uses techniques that clients can practice between sessions, such as stepwise anger-management strategies and skills for handling anxiety. Harriet blends client-centered listening with solution-focused methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit when clients want to change habits or build motivation. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to set priorities, practice new responses, and track small gains over weeks. The aim is clearer choices, less reactivity, and a fuller sense of living without constant distress.

How Harriet’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and understanding the client's perspective. It centers the conversation on what the person wants and helps them feel heard so they can explore their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic pain or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harriet collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She will discuss which techniques to prioritize and adjust them as progress is made so the plan matches needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins that concentrate on skill practice or problem solving. Some people prefer shorter, targeted sessions for skills work while others use standard-length visits to review progress and build insight. Discussing practical details first helps choose sessions that suit routine and goals.
