About Una
Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Una also lists support for LGBT concerns and family-related struggles.
Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people set clear goals for what they want to change. Conversations and plans are adjusted to each person's needs rather than following a strict script.
Una draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems such as anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She helps people break down overwhelming thoughts and habits into manageable steps. Over time clients work on building practical strategies for managing mood, communicating better, and increasing confidence.
She also works with more specific life issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care history, caregiving stress, body image, and relationship patterns such as codependency or commitment concerns. Topics like domestic violence, separation and divorce, and questions around kink and alternative sexual culture are listed as areas she can address in sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Una does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style methods break down worry and negative thinking into clear steps so people can test and change beliefs that keep them stuck. These approaches work well for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns.Other practical techniques concentrate on skills for relationships and emotion regulation. These teach communication tools, boundary-setting, and ways to manage intense feelings so interactions feel less overwhelming. They can help with relationship conflict, commitment worries, and coping after loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which techniques fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a short focus on thought work, then shifting to skills practice if needed.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example, scheduling around classes or work, reducing travel time, and choosing sessions that suit energy levels such as shorter check-ins or full-length meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals will help match session length and frequency to what works practically for each person.
