About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation. She also supports those navigating relationship concerns and issues related to LGBT identity. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support through that process.
Her style is respectful and compassionate. Sessions are shaped to fit each person's needs rather than following one fixed path. She listens first, then works with clients to set practical goals and next steps. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will actually help day to day.
Una has worked with a broad range of concerns, including abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, body image, and problems with communication and commitment. She also addresses complex situations like co-morbidity, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence. Her experience includes helping people with aging and geriatric issues and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink when those topics are part of a client's concerns.
In therapy she aims to match techniques to a person's goals and pace. That might mean learning coping skills for anxiety, talking through grief, or practicing different ways of speaking in a strained relationship. She encourages collaboration so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Sessions are offered in English and follow local Texas practice standards. People interested in working together can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and life challenges. Cognitive-based strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood; these approaches help with everyday worry, rumination, and improving motivation. Problem-focused therapy concentrates on clear, achievable steps to change a difficult situation or interaction, which can be useful for communication problems, commitment issues, and navigating adoption and foster care related decisions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's pace and adjust plans based on what proves most useful.
