About Una
Una Howard is a licensed professional counselor working in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and grief. Her work also includes support for LGBT clients and people dealing with family-related concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations and goals are shaped around each person's unique needs. She aims to be sensitive and compassionate while helping clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Background and approach
Common topics she helps people with include abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, body image, caregiving stress, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and concerns linked to avoidant personality patterns.
Her practice covers a wide range of relationship and sexual diversity topics, including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, and she offers support around divorce, separation, and domestic violence recovery. Those facing aging and geriatric issues or co-morbid mental health concerns may also find focused support.
Sessions are shaped to match what each person needs, and she works collaboratively to set goals and plan next steps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people work toward greater confidence and well-being.
How evidence-based approaches meet online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on present-day problems and clear skills. One common approach emphasizes symptom-focused strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress through practical exercises and coping tools; this helps people regain control over daily routines. Another approach centers on building self-esteem and improving communication by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of relating to others; it can be useful for relationship challenges and confidence work. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then suggest methods suited to those needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or travel constraints. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make it possible to check in between longer appointments. These options allow people to fit therapy into work breaks, commutes, or caregiving routines while maintaining consistent support.Questions people ask
