About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in a warm, direct style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She uses straightforward conversation to build trust and reduce shame. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings and clarify what matters most.
Background and approach
Margie works to create a nonjudgmental space where people can name problems and try small, practical changes. Her work often centers on relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and family-related stress.
She also addresses challenges tied to adoption, attachment, communication problems, and separation or divorce. Margie draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person. She commonly uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, narrative techniques, and solution-focused ideas.
These methods help with coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer thinking about patterns that cause pain. Sessions can include talking, skill practice, and planning next steps. Margie partners with people to set goals and track small gains over time.
Her practical focus is on tools that can be used between sessions to make everyday life easier.

Approaches and Online Options for Everyday Challenges
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping a person find their own solutions; it’s useful when someone needs acceptance and clearer thinking about personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger-driven reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques that help with impulsivity and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is a shared project. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. If one approach does not fit, adjustments can be made together so work feels doable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talk time, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging can help maintain progress between appointments. These options aim to fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day realities.
