TaKisha Howard

TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood changes, focus problems, or the fallout of life transitions. Her style is straightforward and encouraging; she recognizes how hard it is to take a first step and aims to make that step feel manageable.

TaKisha works with concerns such as depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and career worries. She also addresses attachment concerns, blended family issues, body image, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. Her practice includes attention to multicultural and LGBT matters and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

In sessions she uses clear, practical techniques rather than jargon. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of how she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of reacting. Mindfulness approaches support calm, present-focused practice when emotions feel intense.

TaKisha encourages people to build on their existing strengths and to set small, realistic goals. She combines coaching-style support with therapeutic work to help clients improve daily functioning and self-understanding. If you are ready to take a step, she guides clients through the process at a steady, respectful pace.

How CBT and Mindfulness Work in Online Therapy

TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT often involves simple homework between sessions like tracking thoughts or trying small behavior changes to see what helps with mood and focus.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach techniques for staying present when emotions feel intense. Mindfulness practices can be short and practical, like breathing exercises or attention tasks that reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting CBT exercises or mindfulness practices to fit daily routines and what feels helpful.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people like online work because it can fit into a busy day, remove travel time, and let sessions occur from wherever they are already spending time. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life problems into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
