Una HowardLPC

Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grieving losses, and building self-esteem and confidence. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Una adapts conversations and plans to fit what each person needs. She keeps sessions practical and centered on what matters most to the client. That can mean working on coping skills for anxiety, pacing through grief, or practicing clearer communication in strained relationships. Her work pays attention to life context. She helps people navigate issues tied to adoption or foster care, abandonment, blended family transitions, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence aftermath, divorce and separation, and commitment or control issues. People who identify as LGBT will find topics listed among her focus areas. Additional concerns Una addresses include avoidant personality patterns, codependency, co-morbid mental health challenges, and interests related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Una invites clients to set goals together and to shape treatment based on progress and comfort level. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options so you know what will work best for your situation.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that adapts to you

Una lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the foundation of her work. These approaches focus on practical strategies and often include skill-building exercises to manage anxiety and stress. They are useful for learning routines that reduce worry, calming techniques, and ways to break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps.

Another common thread in evidence-based work is structured conversations about relationships and communication. This involves practicing clearer ways to express needs, setting boundaries, and rehearsing different responses to conflict. These methods can help when managing grief, resolving recurring disagreements, or improving self-confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will experiment and adjust methods so the work fits your life and moves you toward concrete improvements.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online work. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a work break. Discuss scheduling and format options during the match and booking steps to find a setup that suits your routine.
