TaKisha Howard

TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for common struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the wear of life changes. Her style centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths so small steps can add up to real change.

TaKisha draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns of behavior. She works with people who face attention and focus challenges, including ADHD, and those coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, or identity questions related to sexuality and LGBT experiences.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Sessions focus on clear goals, usable skills, and practicing new ways of responding between meetings. She encourages people to name what matters most and to test small changes that match their daily life.

TaKisha also addresses deeper patterns such as attachment issues, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, and body image. She helps with crises like trauma and abuse, and with ongoing challenges such as compassion fatigue and impulsivity. Her work combines symptom-focused strategies with attention to values and identity.

People who contact TaKisha can expect collaborative planning and focused steps toward relief. She invites questions, normalizes the courage it takes to begin, and supports each person as they try out new approaches in real life.

How CBT and Mindfulness Shape Online Sessions

TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building concrete skills for everyday situations.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy, which brings attention to the present moment and to bodily signals. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, stress, self-criticism, and body image concerns.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. TaKisha collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as people try new strategies.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, keeping regular check-ins during life transitions, and using skills coaching between meetings. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to practice techniques in real time and to bring issues from daily life into sessions for immediate problem solving.
