TaKisha Howard, LPC

TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience helping people handle stress and anxiety. She listens for strengths and practical steps. Her style is straightforward and encouraging for someone who is worried about starting therapy.

Clients can expect conversations that focus on everyday problems like low energy, trouble concentrating, or feeling overwhelmed by life changes. TaKisha uses clear tools to build confidence and motivation. She helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable steps.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches attention and calm in the present moment. Those methods are used to reduce anxious thinking and improve coping skills.

TaKisha believes each person knows their own story and already has resources to draw on. In sessions she helps identify those strengths and apply practical strategies to improve mood, focus, and daily functioning. She encourages small, measurable changes that add up over time.

She works with concerns such as depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, substance of career or life purpose worries, body image, and identity questions related to LGBT matters. TaKisha aims to make therapy understandable and doable for people juggling busy lives.

How CBT and Mindfulness translate to online therapy

TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity, improve focus, and help when stress feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques in sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients help shape which tools are used and how fast to move through them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around a busy day, shorten travel time, and let people practice skills in their normal routines. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic or quieter conversations when bandwidth or time is limited.
