Una Howard, LPC

Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and supports people taking the first step toward change.

Una structures sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then tailors the conversation and plan to what matters most to the client. Her style is practical and straightforward, focused on small, manageable steps you can try between sessions.

Clients come to her for a range of concerns, including communication problems, commitment or control issues, and challenges tied to adoption, caregiving, or aging. She also works with people navigating identity and LGBT concerns, body image, blended family dynamics, and recovery after domestic violence or separation.

Una draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps people build coping skills for anxiety and stress, process grief, and strengthen self-worth. Progress is paced to the person’s goals and comfort level, with adjustments made as needed.

Her practice focuses on creating a safe, respectful space for honest talk. If someone wants a clear plan and steady support while they work through life changes, she offers a calm, consistent presence and practical tools to move forward.

Approaches that shape online counseling

Una uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in sessions. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety - practical tools to manage worry, reduce overwhelm, and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss, helping people name what they’re feeling and find ways to remember, adjust, and rebuild routines. Both approaches aim to give clear steps someone can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, priorities, and how they prefer to work. Then she adapts methods to fit those needs so treatment stays practical and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy that day, such as a shorter conversation instead of a longer in-person visit. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your life.
