About Margie

Margie Harper is an LPC based in Texas who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered principles to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She blends practical, skills-based work with empathetic listening so clients can examine thoughts and behaviors that influence mood and daily functioning while feeling heard and respected. With eight years of clinical experience, she supports clients facing challenges such as self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related issues, and career or compassion fatigue.

Margie also addresses specific concerns including adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. Her approach emphasizes collaboration: she works with each person to identify goals and build coping strategies tailored to their situation.

Margie frames therapy as a process of gradual change, offering structured interventions like CBT when helpful and conversational, client-centered moments when exploration and validation are needed. She encourages those ready to begin the work of change to take the next step toward improved wellbeing.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Margie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore emotions and values while the therapist follows the client's lead.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day concerns with each person and adapt methods accordingly, blending structured techniques with supportive conversation to suit what the client needs most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and geographic constraints. These options allow clients to access consistent care from home, at work, or while traveling, and to pick the format that best fits their communication style and life demands.
