About Harriette
Harriette Wade is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses adoption and foster care challenges, attachment and blended family issues, multicultural concerns, and other complex presentations.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people notice which thoughts and patterns keep problems going. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, alongside time to look at past events that affect current reactions. This mix aims to give both immediate tools and deeper understanding.
Harriette takes a practical, structured approach. She helps people set clear goals and test different ways of responding to stress, anger, or relationship strain. She also supports work on mood regulation, addictive behaviors, and rebuilding after loss or trauma.
Her background includes training in professional counseling and a range of roles across mental health settings. Over recent years she has worked in mental rehabilitation centers and intensive outpatient programs and has collaborated with psychiatrists and other health professionals. That experience informs how she plans treatment and coordinates care when needed.
People who choose her are asked to reflect on goals and try specific exercises between sessions. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online therapy options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Harriette combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address both present problems and the effects of past events. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how traumatic events shape reactions and building strategies to reduce their ongoing impact.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying CBT techniques first, then adding trauma-focused work or psychodynamic exploration as needed.
Practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time.
