About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday pressures at home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and parenting worries. Margie also addresses issues related to grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy, and LGBT concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She listens without judgment and helps people name what is going on. Sessions often look at patterns in thinking and behavior and test small changes that can make daily life easier.
Margie uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to clarify problems and discover practical steps forward. These methods are used to support parenting stress, family-related pressures, and relationship struggles.
In session she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. She offers tools for coping with anger, impulsivity, and communication problems. For people facing separation, adoption or blended family questions, she helps sort priorities and options.
Margie works in English and practices in Texas. She encourages adults who are dealing with life changes, isolation, or career strain to consider a short assessment to identify initial steps. The first meeting is typically about understanding what matters most and planning the next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person brings to the session. Online meetings can preserve that style by keeping attention on the client’s concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it gives concrete steps to try between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotions and managing impulses. Online sessions can include teaching and practicing these skills, and then reviewing how they fit into daily life. Margie will work collaboratively to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best, based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels manageable. Figuring that out is part of early sessions rather than a one-time choice.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy household. Some formats make it easier to have a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or reduce the need to be on camera during every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online work so therapy fits around parenting, work, and other daily responsibilities.
