About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She focuses on common life struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth.
She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations to their needs. Una keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens closely, helps sort through priorities, and works with clients to set small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to the person - some people prefer direct problem-solving while others need more space to process feelings. She helps people cope with losses, handle daily stress, and build confidence over time. Issues related to identity and LGBT concerns are within her stated focus.
She also addresses topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and blended family tensions. Una adapts the plan as progress is made. She balances empathy with practical strategies so clients leave with concrete tools they can use between sessions.
Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on real-life change. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. For those ready to begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Una uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and build daily routines. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and loss through guided conversation and gradual exposure to difficult feelings, helping people make sense of what they’ve been through and find ways to move forward.Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk about your goals, try methods that fit your rhythm, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process lets clients test tools and keep the methods that work for them.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person meetings. Phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter touchpoints and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule or a workday while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
