TaKisha Howard , LPC

TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with individuals managing attention and focus challenges, mood fluctuations, and the everyday fallout from trauma or relationship strain. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at people who are unsure about reaching out for help.

TaKisha centers sessions on the client's own story and strengths. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where practical skills and real-life strategies matter. Conversations focus on clear goals like improving concentration, building self-confidence, or coping through a major life transition.

Her approach blends tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That means attention to changing unhelpful thinking patterns alongside simple exercises to increase present-moment awareness. Clients can expect short, focused strategies they can use between sessions.

Over a decade of practice in Texas has given her experience with a wide range of concerns. These include parenting stress, career uncertainty, identity and sexuality questions, grief over family of origin problems, and feelings of isolation or guilt. TaKisha also supports people navigating ADHD symptoms and mood disorders.

She emphasizes clear, practical steps and steady progress. New clients start by sharing recent struggles and setting a small first goal. From there TaKisha helps track change and adjust the plan as needed.

How CBT and Mindfulness work online

TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In practice this means learning to spot automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes that improve mood and focus. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity. Clients learn brief exercises to notice breathing, bodily sensations, and intrusive thoughts without getting swept away.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. TaKisha will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. If a method doesn’t feel useful, she adjusts the plan and tries other tools until a good fit is found.

Online therapy lets people work on these methods from wherever they are using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and face-to-face interaction. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style reminders, or quick skill practice between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
