Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC

Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin, LPC-MHSP, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider practicing in Oklahoma with 22 years of experience. LPC-MHSP stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, credentials that reflect her training and state licensure.

She emphasizes building trust through active listening, unconditional positive regard, and a nonjudgmental, genuine caring presence so clients feel comfortable sharing thoughts, feelings, and life stories. Her work is rooted in a holistic perspective that begins with a careful assessment of each person’s needs and goals, then adapts techniques to fit the individual rather than applying a single recipe for change.

Theresa may draw on a range of approaches when appropriate, including cognitive-behavioral methods, reality therapy, solution-focused strategies, psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness to address presenting concerns. She has experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, psychosis, adjustment and life changes, trauma and stress-related issues, co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, anger and control issues, self-esteem and relationship challenges, parenting and family matters, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, career and coping transitions, and ADHD.

She welcomes those seeking support and works collaboratively to identify goals and practical steps toward change, and she is open to working with international clients.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Informed Online Care

Theresa Bowler-Shopeyin practices from a client-centered perspective, which means she focuses on listening carefully, reflecting each person’s experience, and creating a collaborative plan that centers the client’s goals. This approach helps people explore their values, build insight, and find solutions that feel authentic for them.

She also incorporates trauma-informed principles when relevant, which involves recognizing the impact of past stress and harm, pacing work to avoid re-traumatization, and supporting coping skills that promote stability. Trauma-informed care is useful for people coping with traumatic events, ongoing stress, or related emotional difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Theresa will work together with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions to be practical and meaningful.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home, work, or while traveling, and they support continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
