About TaKisha
TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attention difficulties, relationship strain, and career uncertainty.
Howard uses practical, down-to-earth techniques to help clients build on what already works for them. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to look at thinking patterns and small behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
She frames clients as the experts on their own story and draws out strengths to address current problems. Conversations are goal-oriented and focus on what the client wants to change now. Expect conversations that move from understanding a problem to testing new ways of coping.
TaKisha also addresses a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including ADHD, LGBT issues, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Additional topics she often works through include attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, and isolation or loneliness.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She encourages small experiments in daily life to build confidence and notice progress. If you are dealing with the pressure of starting a new job, shifting relationships, or feeling stuck after school, she helps create doable first steps.
How Cognitive Work and Mindfulness Fit into Online Sessions
TaKisha relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that respond to clear practice tasks.Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness of the present moment. It can help reduce reactivity, improve concentration, and support stress management. Together these approaches give practical skills to try between sessions and ways to notice what changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt what is used based on how well it fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize thinking skills, mindfulness practice, or a mix of both.
