About Eugene
Eugene "Gene" Harvie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 32 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. He also works with concerns such as communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety and phobia.
Gene favors direct, practical conversations in sessions. He listens to what is happening now, and helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that make daily life harder. Sessions typically focus on clear steps and small changes that can be practiced between meetings. He uses techniques that help people test worries and try new ways of handling stressful situations.
With many years of work in the field, Gene aims to make first appointments straightforward and manageable. He asks about immediate priorities, current stressors, and what a person hopes to change. From that starting point he and the client map out short-term goals to focus on in therapy.
Gene draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. He helps clients break problems into concrete parts and identify coping strategies that fit everyday life. Progress is tracked by reviewing what has helped and adjusting plans as needed.
People considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. That step begins the practical work of setting goals and trying out approaches that address the issues named above.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Gene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT is practical and focuses on changing patterns that feed anxiety, panic, or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to immediate goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want to see more of in daily life. It helps when someone wants quick, actionable strategies to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gene will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals and current difficulties, and then adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The emphasis is on trying methods that fit the person’s day-to-day routine and checking what helps.

They also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed, and they remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work practical and focused on steps that can be practiced between meetings.
