About Harriette

She writes treatment plans with clients and focuses on practical ways to bring more balance into daily life. Harriette welcomes people who are ready to make changes and find more purpose and meaning.

She uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused work to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors, past experiences that shape current reactions, and responses to hard events. Harriette aims to build coping skills and clearer thinking so people can manage moods, anger, or recurring worries.

Harriette earned a master’s degree in professional counseling in 2012 from Grand Canyon University and has 12 years of clinical experience. She has also worked in mental rehabilitation settings and intensive outpatient programs, collaborating with psychiatrists and other medical and social service providers when needed. Her background includes helping people with mood disorders, trauma, and complex co-occurring concerns.

Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. Harriette invites clients to be active partners in shaping goals. She focuses on small, practical steps as well as understanding deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep stress and anxiety active; CBT focuses on practical skills and steps you can use between sessions. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult past events and reduce their ongoing effects on mood and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Harriette works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single template. She encourages clients to give feedback so the plan evolves with their experience.

Because the listed session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care while living in different parts of Louisiana, subject to licensing and availability. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused strategies to remote sessions while helping clients build coping skills and address patterns that cause distress.
