About Harriet

Harriet Mccune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anger, anxiety, depression, and life stress. She listens with patience and offers straightforward ways to change patterns that cause pain. Many clients come wanting clearer relationships, better control of emotions, or relief from grief and trauma. She brings 19 years of experience in community and clinical settings, including work with victims of crime and school counseling. That background shaped a practical style that mixes goal-focused tools with steady listening. Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Harriet uses methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. In session she gathers a persons history, talks through current problems, and identifies what matters most to the client. Together they build steps that fit daily life and personal priorities. For anger concerns she often teaches a three-part approach: step away or let it pass, offer an apology when needed, and practice not reacting the same way to the same triggers. Progress usually takes weeks of practice, with the goal of better responses and less stress over time. Her aim is to help people feel more able, understood, and hopeful. She tries to unlock new ways of seeing a situation and to help clients take reachable steps toward a fuller, less painful life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone needs understanding and space to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and adds simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anger, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance, which can be useful for stress and anger management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose quieter surroundings that reduce distractions. It also lets exercises and tools be assigned between sessions so skills are practiced in everyday life, helping the work carry over beyond the appointment.
