01About Queena
Queena Howard greets people who are worn out by stress, mood swings, relationship strain, or substance use. She is a licensed clinical professional counselor, LCPC, who draws on 21 years of experience to help people find steadier footing. Sessions are practical and focused on real changes that fit into everyday life.
Her approach combines clear thinking about habits with a gentle attention to feelings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness practices to build calm and presence.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone wants to move toward change but feels stuck. Queena has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, ADHD, and problems with sleep and eating.
Her long practice includes supporting people facing personality and mood disorders and those dealing with multicultural or identity-related issues. In sessions she aims to be both compassionate and direct. She meets people where they are, listens closely, and helps set small, achievable steps.
Treatment plans focus on what a person wants now and what practical moves will help them toward that goal. Queena practices from Illinois and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. English-language services are provided, and international clients are not accepted.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an understanding space where a person can talk things through. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and help naming what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, eating habits, and emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Queena will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set concrete, realistic steps and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and texting allow brief updates, check-ins, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily demands.
