Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC

Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to build trust through listening without judgment and offering genuine care. Theresa invites clients to share their thoughts and feelings so they can work toward clear, realistic goals together.

Theresa uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's needs in view. She starts by assessing what someone wants to change and then chooses techniques to match those goals. Her work may include elements from cognitive-behavioral strategies, reality therapy, solution-focused methods, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness, depending on the client's situation.

Over 22 years of practice, Theresa has supported people coping with depression, grief, bipolar concerns, and psychosis. She also assists those facing life changes such as divorce, retirement, job loss, or medical diagnoses. Her experience includes helping people with addictions, co-occurring mental health and substance-use issues, and homelessness.

Theresa also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger and control issues, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges related to ADHD and career decisions. She adapts her approach to the age and needs of each person she sees. International clients can be scheduled and sessions are offered in English.

When starting therapy with Theresa, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time and adjusts techniques to fit what each person needs.

How client-centered care works online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person set goals that feel meaningful. This approach suits concerns like anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and relationship worries because it keeps the client's perspective at the center.

Theresa also integrates practical techniques where helpful. That can include cognitive-behavioral elements to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused steps to try small changes between sessions. These additions are used selectively to meet the needs someone brings to therapy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will work with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals and preferences. If an approach doesn't fit, she will adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and manageable.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also lets people connect with licensed professionals from different locations, which can expand scheduling flexibility and help maintain continuity during life changes.
