About Theresa
Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, sleepless, anxious, or stuck. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to learn what matters to each person. Her goal is to create a trusting, nonjudgmental space so people can say what they’re feeling and start making changes.
Theresa uses a client-centered approach. That means she follows the person’s lead and tailors sessions to their needs. She pays attention to sleep and rest as part of overall wellbeing when that is a concern for the person she is meeting with.
Her process begins with an assessment of what someone wants to change and what gets in the way. From there she draws on different techniques to support those goals, including brief, skills-focused work and education about stress and sleep patterns. She helps people talk through current problems and try small, practical steps between sessions.
Theresa has worked in Oklahoma for more than two decades. She brings steady, calm attention to common issues like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and changes in mood or behavior. She also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma, parenting strain, and career transitions.
People can expect straightforward conversation about what’s realistic to try and what might help most right now. Theresa encourages small changes that fit into everyday life and checks in about progress as work continues.
How client-centered care translates to online work
Theresa’s main approach is client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and following the person’s priorities. This approach helps with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and sleep troubles by centering the person’s experience and pacing work to what feels doable.She may also bring practical teaching about stress and sleep patterns and suggest small behavior changes to try between meetings. That can look like discussing bedtime routines, breaking down overwhelming tasks, or practicing short grounding exercises to reduce worry at night.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust plans over time based on what helps. That decision is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep therapeutic momentum between appointments. Some formats also reduce the need for video or let check-ins be shorter when schedules are tight. Discuss options when scheduling to find what works best for daily life.
