About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 22 years of experience. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Her first priority is building trust through active listening and a genuine, caring presence.
Theresa uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's own goals and experience. She listens for what matters most to each individual and lets that guide the work together. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people notice small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes many years of counseling in Oklahoma across a wide range of concerns. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also supports those coping with life changes such as divorce, job loss, retirement, or becoming an empty nester.
Theresa draws from several therapeutic techniques as needed, including mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, cognitive-behavioral elements, reality therapy, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed care. She adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan.
People commonly come to her for help with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She aims to help people set clear goals and practice concrete steps toward feeling steadier in daily life.
How client-centered work translates to online therapy
Theresa uses a client-centered approach that centers on the person's own goals and experience. This approach focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and helping people clarify what they want to change. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship stress where being heard and understood helps start progress.She also incorporates trauma-informed thinking, which means she pays attention to past hurt and how it shows up now. That helps when people bring trauma, abuse, or intense stress. She may add mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming emotions and to build steadiness day to day.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with each person to decide which methods feel like the best fit based on goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
