About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and related concerns. Theresa aims to build trust through active listening and a nonjudgmental stance so people can talk openly about what’s going on for them.
She uses a client-centered approach, starting by assessing each person’s needs and goals. From there she may draw on techniques that fit the situation. Theresa describes choosing methods that address symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and life circumstances rather than applying a single fixed method.
Theresa has worked with a wide range of issues, including grief, bipolar concerns, addictions, coping with life changes, parenting strain, sleeping and eating problems, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related worries and LGBT concerns. Her practice includes assisting with stress tied to career and life transitions.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person and then suggests practical steps to try between meetings. That can include learning ways to notice triggers, practicing new responses, and experimenting with small behavior changes. Theresa encourages straightforward conversation about what helps and what does not.
Her background blends many years of direct counseling experience with a focus on collaborative work. She invites people to describe what they want to change, and then she helps map out realistic ways to move forward.
How client-centered practice translates to online sessions
Theresa uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. This method emphasizes the person’s goals and preferences and helps guide what comes next in therapy.She begins by assessing needs and goals and then suggests techniques that fit. Client-centered work can help with anger that shows up at home or work, anxiety that builds over time, grief, and stress from life transitions. The aim is to understand what triggers strong reactions and then practice different responses in real life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa will work with the person to decide which methods to try based on their needs and what works in session. That collaborative decision making lets the person test changes and give feedback about what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue counseling during life changes or when schedules are unpredictable, while the therapist and client focus on practical skills and steps to manage anger and stress.
