About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and find clearer direction after loss or major life changes. Her approach centers on respectful, compassionate conversation tailored to each person’s situation.
Una keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens first, then works with clients to set small, achievable goals. Conversations address everyday challenges like motivation, relationship tensions, and coping with grief.
Background and approach
She adapts the pace and tools she uses to match what each person needs. That might mean talking through communication patterns, building confidence step by step, or developing new habits to reduce worry. The emphasis is on usable strategies rather than jargon.
Una also offers support around identity and family-related concerns, including matters relevant to LGBTQ people, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She is attentive to how past losses or abandonment can shape current behavior. Clients can expect a collaborative process where treatment plans are adjusted over time.
Una frames progress as a series of small changes and practical skills that add up to better day-to-day functioning and clearer choices.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based techniques often used by licensed professionals include cognitive-behavioral strategies and grief-focused work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach specific skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Grief-focused approaches help people process loss, identify what matters now, and build routines that support healing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by listening to concerns and goals, then suggest ways to proceed. Over several sessions they will adjust methods and pace to match what feels most helpful to the client.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, daily check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
