About Theresa
Theresa Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings seven years of clinical experience to work with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and family concerns. Theresa speaks English and draws on practical, person-focused methods to help clients find steadier footing in difficult times.
She often helps people manage life transitions and stress. That includes parenting strains, relationship problems, addiction concerns, anger, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Background and approach
Theresa also has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care issues and with aging and geriatric concerns. Theresa describes the client as the expert in their own story. She focuses on strengths and practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building skills for everyday challenges, not jargon-heavy explanations. Her background includes working with survivors of trauma and abuse and with people processing the death or suicide of a loved one. She has also worked with older adults and with foster children and caregivers to address the emotional and logistical questions those situations bring.
Theresa offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and getting care online
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One approach emphasizes building coping skills to manage anxiety and stress through concrete steps and behavioral practice. This helps people reduce overwhelm and regain control over daily routines and reactions.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which involves pacing conversations to match what a person can handle and using grounding or stabilization techniques. This helps people process painful events and learn ways to feel safer in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods based on how the work is going. Clients and therapist review progress and pick strategies that match their needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexible options for fitting care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual connection helps, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter communication. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
