About Harriet

Harriet Mccune is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and concerns around intimacy and parenting. She also lists ADHD, bipolar disorder, and a range of personality and attachment issues among her areas of focus.

Harriet uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. She often combines client-centered conversation with practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. Sessions may include setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and practicing ways to respond differently to anger or anxiety.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Houston, Central Campus, and a master’s in counseling from the University of Houston, Clear Lake. Early work as a psychiatric technician and as a school counselor contributed to her experience with people across ages and situations.

Harriet has worked extensively with victims of crime through grant-funded agencies, and she lists experience with child abuse, sexual crime, domestic violence, and crisis intervention among her practice areas. She describes a practical, skills-based approach for concerns such as anger where simple, repeatable steps are practiced over weeks.

In sessions she gathers a person’s history, looks at current problems, and discusses values and priorities. She aims to help people develop new responses, improve communication, and reduce the daily strain of ongoing problems. Practical skill practice and steady support are emphasized over quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Harriet blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused techniques to help people make concrete changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective so goals can be identified. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to try different responses to anxiety, shame, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what will look different when a problem eases.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will talk with a person about their goals, strengths, and day-to-day challenges, then recommend methods to try. Adjustments are made based on how those methods feel and what produces useful changes for the client.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use goal-focused exercises, in-session practice, and follow-up steps that translate well to a virtual meeting, helping people try new responses and track progress over weeks.
