About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and LGBT-related issues. She also addresses family-related concerns and related topics noted in her background.
Una keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the problems they face. Conversations are used to identify patterns, everyday challenges, and small changes that can make life more manageable.
Her background includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, and struggles around commitment and codependency. She also has experience with divorce and separation, communication problems, control issues, and domestic violence-related distress.
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking. Una works collaboratively to set goals and try approaches that fit a client's life. She adapts the pace to what a person needs, whether that means focused skills practice or more wide-ranging reflection.
People who come for help can expect direct conversation about the problems at hand, attention to everyday pressures, and a plan for next steps. If you want to try therapy, she asks clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract ideas. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. This can reduce worry, lift mood, and make relationships easier to manage. Another approach emphasizes skills practice for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It teaches concrete techniques you can use during stressful moments and in everyday interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may start with a short plan and then change based on what proves helpful in sessions.
If you prefer working online, check the current session options before booking. The listing does not specify formats, so confirm whether video or phone sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can match weekday or evening routines.
