About TaKisha

TaKisha Howard is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for anyone who is unsure where to begin.

Her work emphasizes clear tools for stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with depression, life changes, attention and focus concerns, and parenting challenges. TaKisha uses methods that help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build on strengths.

Background and approach

TaKisha draws on ten years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and stay present when emotions run high. Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between appointments.

In sessions she encourages clients to identify what matters most to them and to set realistic steps toward those goals. Conversations are practical and collaborative, with focus on what is useful for daily life. Her approach highlights strengths and teaches ways to manage stress, anger, relationship tensions, and issues related to identity and self-worth.

TaKisha practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She recognizes that starting therapy can take courage and supports each person at their pace. The work is about steady progress and building tools that fit real life.

Approaches that fit online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. It breaks problems into small steps and offers clear exercises to try between sessions, which works well over video or text when homework can be shared and reviewed.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques are short and easy to practice during phone or video sessions and can be guided in real time or reinforced through messages between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time techniques may be adjusted based on what is most helpful and practical for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to use tools in the moments they matter.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
