More about Harriet
- 35 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
Licensed in Pennsylvania, I have over 35 years experience in collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of issues. While my primary training and experience has been in solution-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, my approach to counseling is individualized, person-centered, and trauma-informed, depending on the needs of each person. I strive to create an accepting, supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere. I have worked extensively with those experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, challenges around life transitions, grief, alcohol issues, and self-harming behaviors. While I take my work very seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously. Although I generally provide counseling in English, having grown up in a bilingual English-Spanish household, I do speak serviceable Spanish.
When not working, I enjoy being in nature, gardening, reading, and volunteering in my community around social justice issues.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
