Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin

Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, is a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma who puts building trust first. She listens without judgment and aims to create a space where people feel comfortable sharing what they are facing. Theresa speaks plainly and meets each person where they are in their life. Theresa draws on 22 years of counseling experience to help with everyday struggles and deeper concerns. She starts by learning a person’s needs and goals, then chooses practical ways to work toward those goals. Techniques she may draw from include cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused work, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices. Her background includes helping people with anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar concerns, and stress related to life changes such as divorce, job loss, or retirement. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger and control issues, self-esteem challenges, and relationship or parenting questions. Theresa’s approach is holistic and collaborative. She offers education when helpful and helps people build skills they can use outside of sessions. The aim is to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning over time. Theresa accepts clients from within and outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How client-centered methods adapt to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions, which often fits work on anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes.

Theresa pairs that core approach with practical techniques when useful, such as trauma-informed strategies and mindfulness. Those tools are used to teach coping skills, manage strong emotions, and practice new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that make sense for those goals, and adjust over time. Clients take an active role in shaping which techniques are emphasized.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a comfortable setting for practicing skills at home or on a break from work. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and skill-based work to a remote setting while keeping the focus on what helps the person move forward.
