About Harriet
She has 19 years of experience working in community and grant-funded settings, including services for victims of crime. Harriet earned 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 in 2003. Early work as a psychiatric technician and as a school counselor shaped her practical focus.
Her style is upbeat and supportive. She offers straightforward techniques and steady encouragement. For anger management she describes simple, repeatable steps clients can practice over weeks to change reactions and lower stress.
In sessions she gathers history, clarifies current problems, and learns a client’s values and priorities. She uses that information to tailor the work and to coach skills such as assertive responses, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. Progress is treated as a series of small changes rather than instant fixes.
Harriet combines client-centered listening with methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing. She aims to help people notice thought and habit patterns, try new responses, and build more satisfying routines and relationships.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s story. It helps people feel heard and to identify what matters most to them, which can guide practical next steps for daily life and relationships.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior. In CBT clients learn small experiments and simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, rumination, and managing strong emotions in day-to-day situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they set practical goals and try techniques that can be adjusted as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not detailed in the biography. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Licensed professionals can guide exercises, homework, and skill-building in ways that translate well to remote meetings.
