About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. She also supports clients navigating relationship strain and LGBT-related issues.
Una approaches every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Una focuses on tailoring conversations and practical plans to each person's needs. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals to build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
How Una works
She has worked with people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family concerns. Other areas she addresses include caregiver stress, body image, codependency, communication problems, commitment issues, and coping after divorce or separation. Una also has experience with avoidant personality patterns, aging and geriatric issues, co-morbidity, control issues, and situations involving domestic violence.
She is open to discussing sexual identity and practices such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual culture without judgment. Therapy with Una centers on practical steps and steady support. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and track progress over time.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step clearer and more manageable.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Una uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and builds small, achievable steps to change behavior and reduce anxiety. This style is useful for stress, low motivation, and day-to-day coping. Another approach centers on processing loss and difficult feelings through guided conversation and reflective exercises. This helps people grieving a loss or working through depression to name emotions, learn coping strategies, and regain forward momentum. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions to fit those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection when possible. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, ongoing reflections, and support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.Start online instead of waiting
