About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship concerns, and address low self-esteem and depression. Her work also includes coping with life changes and concerns related to trauma and grief.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Margie focuses on thoughts, habits, and behaviors people repeat, and looks for small, concrete changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions move at a practical pace, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques. That means attention to patterns of thinking, collaboration on goals, and brief exercises designed to shift routines. She also integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and narrative work when emotion regulation or life story issues are relevant.
Margie has worked with issues such as intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and career stress. She also supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce. Practical problem solving and skills practice are common components of her sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule the first meeting to begin shaping goals together.
How Margie’s approaches translate to online work
Margie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and to test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and changing daily habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working from the client’s priorities to set clear goals and next steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. DBT supplies concrete skills for handling intense feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive reactions. Together these methods give a mix of thought-focused exercises and practical skills practice for real-life situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative task. The therapist will review a client’s goals and preferences and recommend which approaches to emphasize. That plan can change as progress is reviewed and new challenges appear.
