Una Howard

Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people navigating LGBT issues and family-related challenges.

Una focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions cover what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and small steps that can change patterns. She adapts the pace to each person and pays attention to what feels doable in ordinary life.

Her background includes a range of everyday concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, body image, and blended family issues. She also addresses communication problems, commitment and control issues, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence and separation.

In early sessions she aims to learn what matters most to the client and to outline a realistic plan. That plan can include coping skills for anxiety and depression, techniques to improve communication, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss.

People who come to her often want straightforward help finding next steps after a change. She works in a direct, respectful way and focuses on clear actions clients can try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions

Una works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical skills. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts affect mood and behavior and teach ways to test and shift unhelpful thinking. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem because they break down problems into manageable steps.

Behavioral strategies involve setting small, achievable activities to rebuild confidence and reduce avoidance. For people coping with grief, loss, or demotivation, these steps can help restore routine and a sense of progress. Both approaches emphasize practicing between sessions so gains carry into daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current situation. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting the plan, and trying different techniques until a workable fit is found.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the matching process about how sessions could be scheduled to suit your routine.
