About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and anger. Her focus is on listening first and helping people talk through what is most pressing for them.
Theresa begins by building trust through active listening and what she describes as unconditional positive regard. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can say what they think and feel. That approach helps clarify symptoms, thoughts, and feelings so the next steps make sense.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation and draws on techniques chosen to match a person's needs. These may include cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused steps, psychoeducation, trauma-informed thinking, reality therapy, and mindfulness practices. Theresa explains options and works with the person to decide what to try.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, co-occurring disorders, and stress-related problems. Theresa also works with issues around parenting, career changes, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. She has supported people through adjustment after life events such as divorce, job loss, retirement, and loss.
Theresa asks new clients to describe their goals and current struggles so sessions start with practical priorities. She uses straightforward strategies to reduce distress and to strengthen coping. People who want calm, clear conversation about anger or ongoing stress may find this a direct approach to getting started.
How sessions work
How Client-Centered methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. In practice this means the therapist encourages people to describe what matters most and responds without judgment. This approach helps with concerns like anxiety, anger, relationship stress, grief, and life changes by keeping the conversation focused on the client's priorities.Theresa also uses elements from trauma-informed work and mindfulness. Trauma-informed ideas guide how she frames questions and paces conversations so difficult topics are handled carefully. Mindfulness techniques offer simple practices that can reduce reactivity and help with sleep, stress, and anger regulation.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Theresa will discuss goals, try specific techniques, and adjust plans together based on what helps. She explains options and checks in about whether a given method feels useful for the person's day-to-day life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend from wherever they are. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly tailor pacing and technique to how someone prefers to meet and what works in their routine.
