Theresa Howard , LPC

Theresa Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with 7 years of professional experience supporting individuals and families through difficult life chapters. Her background includes work with family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief and the process of surviving the suicide of a loved one, along with treatment for depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges related to personality disorders. She has also provided services to older adults and to foster children and foster families, helping each group navigate complex emotional and practical concerns.

Theresa brings a strengths-based perspective to her practice, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can aid recovery and growth. She works to empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life, offering support and practical guidance along the way. Her areas of focus include family relationships, parenting, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, anger, and relationship difficulties, as well as issues related to adoption, foster care, aging, and geriatric concerns.

As an LPC, Theresa holds a credential that reflects state licensure to provide professional counseling services in Texas. She aims to create a collaborative therapeutic experience that honors clients’ strengths while addressing the problems that brought them to therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and healing. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and impulse challenges - these methods help clients build routines, emotional regulation, and problem-solving tools to manage symptoms day to day. Another area of focus is trauma-informed care, which prioritizes safety and pacing while helping people process experiences of abuse, loss, or survivor trauma in a way that reduces overwhelm and supports recovery. Theresa also brings a family-centered perspective when appropriate, working with parents, foster and adoptive families, and older adults to improve communication and address relational patterns.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Theresa will help identify which strategies align with a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility supports scheduling around work, family, or mobility needs and allows clients to maintain continuity of care from the places that work best for them.
