About Eugene

Eugene "Gene" Harvie brings a practical, skill-focused approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. He combines problem-solving techniques with an emphasis on changing unhelpful thinking patterns so clients learn concrete tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Background and approach

Eugene’s background spans 32 years in professional practice and he holds an LCSW credential licensed in Texas (TX LCSW 50151). He also uses elements of Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify strengths and set achievable goals, concentrating on small, meaningful changes that build momentum.

Common areas of attention include relationship concerns, parenting challenges, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness work, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Eugene creates a nonjudgmental atmosphere intended to make it easier to explore difficult feelings and try new coping strategies.

He encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy and supports a collaborative process tailored to each person’s needs.

Bringing CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy translate well to online formats and can be used to address anxiety, depression, stress, panic symptoms, and relationship or parenting concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping skills, which often involves homework and skill practice between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clarifying goals, recognizing existing strengths, and taking small, concrete steps toward desired changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine whether CBT, Solution-Focused techniques, or a blend of both fits best based on presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative orientation helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual’s situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how someone prefers to communicate. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, continue work while traveling, or access support from different locations within Texas. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to these media so clients can practice skills and track progress between appointments.
