About Margie
Margie Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Margie aims to make the first step easier and supports people as they seek clearer direction and more satisfaction in life.
She uses straightforward conversation to build an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be named. Sessions emphasize practical steps - small experiments, communication practice, and problem-solving - so clients leave with concrete options to try between meetings. That approach is useful for coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy worries.
Margie also addresses trauma and compassion fatigue with care, helping people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and learn new ways to respond. When relationships are strained she helps people work on communication, boundaries, and commitment questions. Additional focuses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce.
Her work draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools. Narrative and solution-focused strategies are used when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions are in English and conducted within her Texas practice. To get started, Margie asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting connection. It helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and a place to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills that can reduce intense reactions and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on goals, needs, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, keeping continuity during life changes, and making it easier to attend when travel or time are limited. Online work can also support shorter check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and a way to continue therapy when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists often tailor pacing and tools so sessions work well over distance.
