About Harriette

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of counseling experience, Harriette Wade helps people with relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns. She works with adults on intimacy issues, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions also cover multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care, and issues such as attachment and personality-related difficulties.

Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and trauma-focused methods. She prefers practical work that helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and manage strong emotions. She combines short-term skills practice with deeper discussion about how past experiences shape current choices.

Her experience includes work in mental rehabilitation centers and intensive outpatient programs. Harriette has collaborated with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care providers, and social service agencies. That background informs her approach to care for people with persistent mood and behavior challenges.

In sessions she aims to help people set goals and develop coping strategies. She also spends time looking at relationship dynamics and family patterns that get in the way of change. Her work often involves clarifying values and identifying obstacles to the changes people want to make.

How her approaches translate to online work

Harriette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills training. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences shape current patterns and can help when people want to understand recurring interpersonal problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and building strategies to reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as work progresses, with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuing care when someone moves within the same state. Licensed professionals adjust pacing, homework, and the types of exercises to work well in remote sessions.
