About Una

Una Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also lists LGBT and family-related concerns and a range of additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress.

Una keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for what matters most and then shapes conversations and plans around those priorities. Her notes show attention to relationship patterns, boundaries, and the practical steps someone can try between sessions.

Clients can expect conversations that address both current problems and longer-standing patterns. She pays attention to feelings like shame, guilt, and low self-worth while also looking at everyday actions that reinforce those feelings. Sessions often include discussing communication skills, ways to manage anxiety, and steps to rebuild confidence.

Her background in Texas practice means familiarity with regional resources and common life stressors there. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to target issues such as depression, grief, and relationship conflicts. That work is shaped by the person in front of her rather than a fixed protocol.

Una asks new clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, with rates that vary by location.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Una notes that she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common technique focuses on identifying and changing patterns in thinking and behavior that keep anxiety and low self-esteem active; this involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses. Another approach emphasizes skills for grieving and loss, helping people name what they are feeling, make space for that emotion, and try small behavioral steps to reengage with daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, life context, and what feels doable. That collaborative decision-making helps shape what happens session to session and what is practiced between meetings.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular appointments and carry therapeutic steps into everyday life.
