Background and approach
Early work as a psychiatric technician and a school counselor shaped her hands-on approach to care. Her style is warm and practical. She focuses on learning a person’s history, current challenges, values, and priorities.
Sessions often include listening, feedback, and straightforward strategies to try between meetings. She emphasizes small, repeatable skills that add up over time. Harriet uses several approaches to tailor support.
She draws on client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices for emotion regulation, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and solution-focused steps to set short-term goals. She explains techniques clearly and practices them with clients in session. For issues like anger, she offers simple, repeatable steps to change responses and reduce stress.
For parenting concerns she helps parents identify patterns, set boundaries, and build routines that fit their day-to-day life. Her aim is practical progress that feels manageable and real.

Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Harriet commonly uses client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered conversation means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens deeply, and helps clarify values and goals; it works well for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. Mindfulness techniques are short exercises you can try during a session and repeat at home to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options, try different methods, and adjust based on your needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when a shorter interaction fits the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied routines.
