About Habiba
Habiba Salim is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD, and lists young adult issues among her areas of focus. Habiba works with adults and young adults who are trying to make sense of recurring problems and manage the pressure of early adulthood.
She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new ways of responding. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, learning practical skills to reduce anxiety, and trying small behavioral changes between meetings. Habiba draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to frame that work.
Her background includes counseling and educational roles across developmental stages, which she uses to connect how earlier experiences can shape present behaviors. That perspective informs how she helps clients link past patterns to current choices without focusing only on history.
Habiba tends to work collaboratively, setting clear goals and checking progress regularly. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues when they relate to a client's goals.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to real-life demands like school, work, and relationships. The emphasis is on learning skills that fit into everyday life and practicing them between sessions to notice what changes and what still needs work.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and decisions common in early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns because it gives step-by-step tools to change how you think and act.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and tolerating distress. These skills can help when relationships or intense feelings are getting in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or other commitments. They can also let clients use shorter check-ins when time is tight or choose audio-only when video is difficult, helping therapy fit into everyday routines without adding a long commute.
