About Theresa
Theresa Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and substance concerns. She also supports people adjusting to life changes and those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.
Theresa emphasizes a practical, strengths-based approach. She treats clients as experts on their own stories and helps them build on what already works. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that reduce day-to-day stress and improve relationships.
Her background includes work with older adults and with foster children and foster families, which gave her experience with grief, loss, and complex family dynamics. She has supported people through processing the suicide of a loved one and coping with long-term life transitions.
Theresa aims to help people notice patterns that fuel anger or conflict, and to practice alternative responses. In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to break down problems into manageable parts. Conversations include practical skills, short exercises, and planning for how to use new strategies between meetings.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with specific problems like family stress, addictive behaviors, or persistent anxiety. To get started she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How evidence-based techniques work in remote sessions
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday evidence; this helps reduce reactive anger and persistent worry by changing how situations are interpreted. Another approach concentrates on building concrete coping skills - breathing, short behavioral experiments, and stepwise problem-solving - to manage stress, cravings, or sudden mood shifts.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Theresa will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life demands. She explains options, tries methods in-session, and adjusts plans based on what the client finds useful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone join without being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to keep progress consistent while adapting methods to real-world routines.
