Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Harriet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to client goals. One approach focuses on goal-oriented strategies that help with motivation, self-esteem, and executive coaching by breaking larger aims into manageable steps, building accountability, and reinforcing practical skills that support change. A second emphasis is on emotion regulation and coping skills training, which teaches tools to manage anger, impulsivity, stress, and reactions linked to addiction or past trauma, helping clients respond more effectively in challenging moments.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and Harriet works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options support consistent progress by allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their life.
