About TaKisha
TaKisha Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and feelings of depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that fit into daily life. TaKisha aims to make therapy feel doable for a busy parent or caregiver starting a search for support.
She approaches work with a respect for each person's experience and strengths. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on tools that can help with mood, concentration, and motivation.
Background and approach
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to build moment-to-moment coping skills. Over her ten years of practice she has supported people through life changes, challenges with attention and impulsivity, and struggles around identity and relationships. She also helps with issues like grief, guilt, blended family concerns, and career stress.
The focus is on clear goals and realistic steps toward them. In meetings she listens for patterns that make daily life harder and then suggests simple, concrete strategies to test between sessions. That can include short mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, or reframing thoughts that fuel anxiety.
The aim is steady, practical progress rather than perfect outcomes. TaKisha practices in Texas and works in English. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck to consider a brief match questionnaire to see if her style fits their needs.

Approaches TaKisha lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Practical approaches for online parenting support
TaKisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. That approach breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test small changes and see what helps with anxiety or low mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build simple, everyday skills for grounding and focus. Mindfulness exercises in sessions are short and meant to be repeated between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and suggests techniques to try. Together you revisit what works and adjust the plan based on your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school pickups, or other routines.
