Harriet Mccune

Harriet Mccune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience helping individuals, families, couples, adolescents, and children navigate life’s challenges. Her work has included grant-funded agency roles focused on supporting victims of crime, a background that has shaped a practical, trauma-informed approach to care. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Houston, Central Campus, earned in 1994, and a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston, Clear Lake, completed in 2003. Early clinical experience included more than a year as a psychiatric technician and time working as a school counselor, which contributed to a broad skill set in both crisis intervention and long-term therapeutic support.

Harriet blends upbeat positivity with steady professional commitment, offering a warm, patient listening style that creates space for clients to tell their stories and feel heard. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflict, grief, addictions, ADHD, mood disorders, anger management, intimacy and parenting concerns, and work-related stress. She also addresses more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and co-occurring conditions.

Therapeutic work with Harriet emphasizes collaboration: gathering personal history, clarifying present concerns, and aligning treatment with each client’s values and priorities. She uses a range of approaches, drawing from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care. For anger management, for example, she teaches a three-fold strategy - step away or pause, offer apology when appropriate, or change repetitive patterns of reactivity - with progress built through practice over weeks. Harriet aims to empower clients with practical skills, positive reinforcement, and validated understanding to support lasting change and a fuller sense of well-being.
