About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Margie describes helping people who are facing life transitions, grief, or compassion fatigue.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. That gives room to name patterns and to try small, realistic changes between sessions.
Margie also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations. She uses dialectical behavior skills when emotions feel intense and clients need concrete ways to manage strong reactions. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help when someone wants to rewrite how they see a problem or set short-term goals that fit daily life.
She has worked with concerns tied to family relationships, attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, infidelity, communication and control problems. Margie supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, disruptive mood concerns, and intimacy questions.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to name and actions easier to try. To begin, she asks what matters now and what small steps would feel useful for the person in front of her.
How her approaches adapt to online sessions
The profile lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among her methods. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's perspective so they can identify what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test beliefs and try practical changes. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will help the client decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift as the work proceeds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
