About TaKisha
TaKisha Howard is an LPC licensed in Texas with 10 years of clinical work. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concentration and focus concerns and supports people dealing with motivation and memory difficulties.
She uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and test small changes to see what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach alongside mindfulness practices to bring attention to the present moment.
TaKisha treats a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, and issues around sexuality and identity. She also offers coaching-style support for clients working on life purpose, career shifts, or midlife transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment and family of origin issues, blended family challenges, body image, and multicultural concerns.
Her style is practical and task-oriented. She helps people build concrete coping tools they can use between sessions and reviews how those tools worked. Mindfulness exercises are used to reduce reactivity, while cognitive techniques target unhelpful thinking patterns.
TaKisha asks people to describe what they want to change and then tests small steps toward those goals. She emphasizes steady progress over time and helps clients measure what is working. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a Texas LPC.
How CBT and Mindfulness are used in online sessions
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and test changes in thinking and behavior. CBT sessions often involve simple exercises and between-session tasks that aim to break unhelpful cycles and build new habits.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to train attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practice involves short, guided attention exercises that help people notice feelings and urges without acting on them, which can be useful for anxiety, impulse control, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. TaKisha will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on what helps in practice.
