About TaKisha
TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical work. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, concentration and memory problems, and life transitions. The profile also notes experience supporting people with focus, motivation, and concerns related to anger and parenting.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She works in a straightforward way, drawing on clients' existing strengths to manage hard moments. Conversations focus on practical steps that can be tried between sessions.
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy techniques to strengthen moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Sessions balance short-term coping strategies and deeper patterns that keep problems recurring.
She aims to make the process clear and manageable. Expectations and goals are discussed early so each session has direction. The therapist helps clients track what works and adjusts strategies when needed.
TaKisha works with a broad range of life concerns including relationship strain, career challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, LGBT issues, and multicultural topics. For people feeling overwhelmed by anger, she presents tools to notice triggers, interrupt escalation, and rebuild calm responses.
If you decide to begin, the usual next step is a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session. That initial meeting is used to set priorities and plan practical steps forward.
How sessions work
How CBT and Mindfulness shape online sessions
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT work often includes noticing automatic thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing different responses to situations like workplace frustration or family arguments.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build attention and reduce reactive responses. Mindfulness practice can help someone notice rising anger or anxiety earlier so they can choose a calmer response rather than reacting in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to set goals and try techniques, then adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist review progress together and prioritize practical strategies that fit daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Once the format is clear, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel while keeping regular sessions. Licensed professionals use these methods to focus on skills that help manage anger, improve concentration, and reduce stress.
