About Theresa

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP, LPC) with 22 years of experience, Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin works in Oklahoma helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and related issues. She offers therapy for a wide range of struggles including bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy and sleeping or eating concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Theresa begins by listening and building trust so people can speak freely about symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and their stories. She uses client-centered principles that focus on the person’s own goals and experience. That means the conversation starts with what matters most to the individual and moves at a pace they can handle.

Her practice assesses needs and selects techniques to fit those goals. While she names client-centered work as her approach, she may draw on other methods to address specific problems. Those techniques can include cognitive-behavioral ideas, reality therapy, solution-focused steps, psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness when appropriate.

Theresa has long experience assisting people through life changes like divorce, job loss, retirement, or sudden loss. She also supports people working with co-occurring mental health and addiction issues, anger or control concerns, and self-esteem or identity questions, including LGBT-related matters.

Practical topics often covered in sessions include coping strategies, communication in relationships, managing mood symptoms, grief processing, and planning next steps for career or parenting challenges. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How client-centered work translates to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, and questions about identity or self-esteem.

Theresa may combine client-centered work with specific techniques when needed. For example, she might introduce brief solution-focused steps to set small goals, or offer psychoeducation to explain mood and stress responses. Those additions aim to make sessions practical and easier to put into daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying an approach for several sessions and adjusting based on how the client responds.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to work well in remote appointments, and Theresa aims to make sessions practical for day-to-day life.
