About Harriette

Harriette Wade, LPC, focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship and parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stresses. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where adults and couples can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her goal is to help people find balance and clearer direction in everyday life.

Harriette designs practical plans with each person she sees. She uses evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and build new coping skills. Her approach is straightforward: identify what’s getting in the way, practice small changes, and track progress over time.

She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling in 2012 from Grand Canyon University and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Over a dozen years of clinical experience inform her work, and she has spent recent years in mental rehabilitation centers and intensive outpatient programs.

Harriette has supported people facing anxiety, depression, family conflict, life transitions, and challenges related to severe and persistent mental illness. She also collaborates with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care providers, and social service agencies when coordinated care is helpful.

In sessions she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. She helps people clarify values, set realistic goals, and practice coping strategies that fit daily life. Those interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Harriette’s Approaches Guide Online Work

Harriette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical strategies and short-term skill building, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic events. This approach helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life through gradual, guided work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Harriette will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats clients as partners in choosing goals and measuring progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about logistics and which approach would best match your situation.
