About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, mood issues, and life changes. She listens first and tries to help each person feel understood and seen.
Theresa uses a client-centered approach, which means she follows the person's goals and pace. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people weigh options.
Background and approach
That way the work stays focused on what matters most to the individual. Her background includes long-term practice in Oklahoma supporting people through depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and co-occurring mental health and addiction challenges. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, intimacy and relationship struggles, and career transitions.
Sessions may draw on practical methods such as mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, reality-oriented techniques, and psychoeducation when those tools fit the person's goals. Theresa adapts her way of working to the situation rather than following a rigid plan. Theresa values clear, plain conversation about problems and options.
She encourages people to try steps that feel manageable and to track what helps. Her aim is to guide each person toward more effective coping and clearer next steps.
Client-centered care delivered online
Theresa practices client-centered therapy, which means she focuses on each person's goals and experience. Sessions begin with listening and reflection so the person feels heard, and then the work follows whatever matters most to them. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes.When other approaches are useful, Theresa may add practical tools such as mindfulness exercises or short solution-focused steps. Those techniques are offered only when they match the person's needs and preferences. Finding the right way to work is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what to try and how to measure progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection when that style fits better. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to pick a format that fits daily life.
