About Harriet

Harriet Mccune is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens patiently to learn what matters to each person. Her style is upbeat and hopeful, and she aims to help clients find practical steps toward feeling better.

She has 19 years of experience and has spent much of that time supporting people affected by crime through grant-funded programs. That work exposed her to many kinds of problems, from grief and trauma to anger and substance use. She also has experience working in schools and inpatient settings early in her career.

Harriet uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to focus on what people say is important. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to build calm and focus.

Sessions begin by gathering history and identifying present concerns. Then she and the client choose practical goals and try small, achievable steps. For anger management she describes a three-part process - step away, offer repair, and practice responding differently - practiced over weeks to build new habits.

Her aim is to help clients gain awareness, feel more alive, and move toward a fuller life. People who prefer a direct but compassionate approach may find her manner encouraging and steady.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Harriet often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding what matters to you, and shaping sessions around your priorities. This approach helps people who need space to tell their story and feel heard.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT offers concrete skills and practice tasks that can be done between sessions to reduce symptoms and build coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

The therapist biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework in their everyday settings, which can help transfer skills into real life.
