About Hoda

Hoda Soliman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting-related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Arabic and draws on five years of clinical experience in Texas. Hoda emphasizes the client’s strengths and believes change starts with small, courageous steps.

She offers practical support and steady guidance for people facing difficult family situations and personal struggles.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on clear, evidence-informed methods that help people change unhelpful patterns in daily life. In sessions she listens closely to each person’s story and works together with them to set realistic goals. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Hoda has particular experience supporting people dealing with family conflict, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. She also addresses immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and women’s issues. Her work includes practical skills for managing mood disorders, anger, grief, and the emotional fallout of trauma.

Therapy can include talk-based sessions and short exercises to practice between meetings. Sessions can take different forms depending on a person’s needs and preferences. Hoda aims to help people build more safety, clearer communication, and stronger self-trust.

She holds a Texas LPC license (TX LPC 17298) and combines her training with a culturally aware perspective, including familiarity with Middle Eastern cultural contexts. This informs how she tailors support and communication during therapy.

How CBT and online sessions can support change

Hoda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try small, practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns because it focuses on clear steps and skills to practice between sessions.

She pairs CBT with a strengths-based, culturally aware stance that honors each person’s experience and background. Finding the right fit is a shared process - the therapist works with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative planning helps shape how sessions proceed and what techniques are tried first.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit meetings into busy schedules, and continue work between appointments. The combination of a clear method like CBT and flexible online formats aims to make practical progress more accessible for people juggling family responsibilities and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
