About TaKisha
TaKisha Howard helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next step. She greets each person with straight talk and practical options. Her focus is on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes so they can feel more in control.
She says taking the first step toward help often takes courage and recognizes that from the start. TaKisha is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 10 years of clinical experience in Texas.
How TaKisha works
She draws on approaches that teach new ways of thinking and moment-to-moment awareness to reduce distress. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with concrete tools to use between meetings. She works with people facing concerns such as depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about sexuality and life purpose. In a typical session TaKisha helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, practice simple mindfulness skills, and set small, realistic behavior changes.
She also incorporates coaching-style support when clients want help planning next steps at work or in personal life. Her style is direct but warm. She aims to make therapy feel manageable, with short-term strategies and longer-term growth work when people are ready.

Online support options
CBT and Mindfulness for Online Support
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into small steps so clients can test new ways of thinking and notice measurable progress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices. These skills help reduce reactivity to stress and improve focus during daily moments, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and concentration difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. TaKisha will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit a client's needs. She works together with clients to adjust tools and pace so therapy feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper interaction, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text supports brief check-ins and coaching-style guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day and keep momentum between appointments.
