About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. Margie also works with people facing anger, grief, parenting pressures, and career challenges.
She uses straightforward, talk-based sessions where clients name what matters most and work on clear next steps. Sessions often center on practical skills for handling frustration, improving communication, and managing intense feelings. Margie uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than a single method.
Her work draws on client-centered principles that keep the conversation focused on the client's concerns. She adds cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and build new responses. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when strong emotions need clearer regulation skills.
Margie also brings narrative and solution-focused tools to help people reframe difficult experiences and set small, achievable goals. She often breaks larger problems into manageable steps so progress is visible. This practical mix suits people who want concrete strategies for everyday situations.
Clients can expect a direct but respectful style that aims to reduce reactivity and strengthen coping. Margie encourages steady practice between sessions and checks in on how strategies are working. To begin, she asks people to identify a main concern and a small first goal to work toward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. It helps people feel heard and figure out their priorities, which is useful when anger comes from relationship stress or life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that feed anger and at the behaviors that follow. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses in everyday situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often used when someone needs tools to pause and choose a different action during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made or new challenges emerge.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, and sessions that avoid travel time. Talk-based approaches and skill practice adapt well to remote work, and Margie will help shape sessions to practical routines and goals.
