About Theresa
Theresa Howard is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing family stress, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, and challenges with addiction and anger. Theresa works with parents navigating parenting strain, and with people managing ADHD, bipolar concerns, and major life transitions.
Theresa has spent time supporting older adults and people connected to adoption and foster care. That includes working with foster children and foster caregivers on everyday coping and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
She also assists people who are processing the suicide of a loved one and those adjusting to big changes in their lives. Her style centers on treating the person as the expert of their story. She listens for practical strengths and builds from what is already working.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings, not long lectures or vague plans. Theresa aims to offer steady support while people test new ways of handling stress, relationships, and strong emotions. She helps clients break problems into smaller pieces, practice different responses, and track progress over time.
The goal is to find approaches that fit each person’s life and needs. Theresa works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
Approaches that fit everyday life and online care
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical problem solving and coping. One common approach emphasizes skill-building to manage strong emotions and reduce distress; it teaches specific strategies people can use when anxiety, anger, or mood swings arise. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people safely process painful memories and build routines that reduce triggers and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will work with each person to match methods to their goals, experiences, and preferences. Together they will try different techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that suit varied schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other responsibilities.
