About Theresa
Theresa Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns and on challenges such as trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and substance-related struggles. Theresa emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based stance and encourages people to use their own knowledge about their lives as the foundation for change.
She helps parents and family members who are managing relationship strains, adoption and foster care challenges, or issues connected to aging and geriatric needs.
Background and approach
Theresa also supports people coping with major life changes, intense stress, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her work includes helping those who have survived abuse or who are processing the suicide of a loved one. Theresa listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used at home and in daily life. She aims to build skills for coping, problem solving, and improving family dynamics. Her experience includes supporting elderly clients as well as foster children and the families who care for them.
Theresa values collaboration and encourages clients to identify strengths they can use while navigating hard situations. Theresa welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a family's life and what a first session looks like. She helps people take manageable steps toward change while respecting each family’s unique story.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online family support
Theresa applies evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem solving. One common method emphasizes building coping and emotion-regulation skills so parents and family members can respond calmly in tense moments. This approach is useful for stress, anger, anxiety, and mood-related challenges.Another frequently used approach centers on trauma-informed care and grief support. It involves talking through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable and developing strategies to reduce day-to-day triggers. This approach helps people who have experienced abuse, loss, or other traumatic events regain a sense of control and safety in family life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant for the family.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let families meet from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent despite busy family rhythms.
