About Harriette
Harriette Wade, LPC, helps people facing relationship strain, anger, parenting challenges, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career transitions. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at people ready to make changes and find more balance in life.
Harriette offers a calm, accepting presence and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She believes the person in therapy is the expert on their life and works collaboratively to set goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills that help manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Her background includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and twelve years as a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana. She has worked in mental rehabilitation centers and intensive outpatient programs, and has experience coordinating care with psychiatrists and social service agencies.
In sessions she uses methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused techniques. Those approaches guide conversations about patterns, coping skills, and how past events influence current reactions. The focus stays practical: notice patterns, try small changes, and reflect on what helps.
Harriette is fluent in English and offers multiple online session formats. She supports people who want structured plans alongside space to process emotions. Her work aims to help clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try simple, concrete behavior changes. CBT often focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve mood.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past events on current feelings and reactions. This approach emphasizes safety, pacing, and making sense of difficult memories while building coping skills for strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Harriette collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact while working toward goals.
