About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can share their thoughts and feelings and feel heard.
Her goal is to build trust through active listening and genuine caring so people feel comfortable talking about what matters to them. Theresa takes a client-centered approach, starting by learning each person’s needs and goals.
Background and approach
She uses that information to choose techniques that match the situation. While she describes a broad set of methods she may draw on, the emphasis is on what the client wants to achieve and on practical steps to get there.
With 22 years of experience, Theresa has supported people facing trauma, addiction, bipolar issues, and adjustment stressors like job loss or major life transitions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach often includes education about coping skills and strategies that can be used between sessions.
Theresa works with adults in Oklahoma and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by phone, video call, live chat, or text messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Her aim is simple: listen first, understand next, and work together on clear, manageable steps toward change.
How client-centered care translates online
Theresa practices client-centered therapy, which means she prioritizes listening and understanding each person’s perspective. This approach helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, grief, or relationship stress by focusing on the person’s goals and pace.She also emphasizes practical education and coping strategies. That can include short skill-building exercises, breathing and grounding techniques, or tips for managing routines and sleep. These tools are shared in ways that clients can try between sessions to see what fits their life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Theresa will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. The process is collaborative and respects each person’s preferences and needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing reflection, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different locations.
