About Harriette
Harriette Wade is an LPC based in Louisiana who supports people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and related life changes.
Background and approach
She also focuses on areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, personality and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, and compassion fatigue. Harriette frames her work around helping motivated clients develop practical skills and clearer direction as they navigate transitions and complex emotional concerns.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods to create individualized plans grounded in evidence-informed practices. With 12 years as a licensed professional counselor and a track record of collaboration with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care, and social service agencies, she emphasizes skill-building for coping and overall wellness.
Harriette aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients are treated as the experts on their own lives while she guides goal setting and problem-solving. She offers a collaborative, person-centered stance, helping clients clarify values and remove barriers to well-being.
Her practice is intended for adults, couples, and families who are ready to work toward meaningful change and greater balance in daily life.
Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches with Online Care
Harriette commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also uses trauma-focused techniques to address the effects of traumatic experiences, aiming to reduce distressing symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning by working directly with trauma-related material.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She approaches treatment collaboratively, listening to each person’s goals and preferences and adjusting methods over time so therapy aligns with what the client needs and wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and for those balancing work, family, or other obligations. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel to an office.
