How her approaches translate to online work
Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday relationship problems because it focuses on clear skills and homework tasks.She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. That approach helps when past experiences or attachment issues affect how someone reacts in a new blended household. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to cause strong reactions; it focuses on processing those events and reducing their hold on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Harriette will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend steps to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s life and aims.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent while working on relationship, parenting, and trauma-related goals.
