About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious. She focuses on creating a calm, accepting space so clients can speak honestly about what they are facing. Her style aims to make it easier to talk about stress, grief, mood struggles, parenting pressures, and major life changes.
She uses a client-centered way of working that starts with listening and building trust. Theresa checks what matters most to each person and tailors her approach around those goals. That might mean practicing coping skills, learning how thoughts affect feelings, or trying short, practical strategies to reduce daily stress.
Her practice includes support for anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar concerns, and grief. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, intimacy-related questions, and challenges tied to career or life transitions. Theresa has worked in Oklahoma for many years and brings 22 years of counseling experience to her work.
Theresa emphasizes a non-judgmental, respectful tone and encourages people to share at their own pace. She may introduce techniques such as mindfulness, psychoeducation, or solution-focused steps when they fit the client's goals. The focus is on practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Theresa welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire. That process helps pair people with scheduling options that match the therapist's availability.
How client-centered work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding with empathy. It helps people who need space to talk through feelings about stress, grief, parenting pressures, or changes in mood. The therapist follows the person's lead and reflects back what she hears to build trust and clarity.In practice, this approach means the therapist checks in about goals and adjusts techniques to fit each person's needs. That might include teaching simple coping skills, offering psychoeducation about mood and stress, or practicing mindfulness exercises together. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process between client and therapist.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They often reduce travel time, let people schedule brief check-ins around work or school, and allow sessions from wherever a person has quieter surroundings. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. The therapist and client will work together to choose an approach and schedule that align with the client's goals and day-to-day routine.
