About Queena

Queena Howard, LCPC, focuses on helping people regain balance when stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or life transitions feel overwhelming. She works collaboratively with clients to identify practical, meaningful steps that can reduce symptoms and restore a sense of purpose and connection.

Background and approach

Queena’s practice emphasizes pace and progress so clients can see forward movement in months rather than years. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

That mix allows for both skill-building around thoughts and behaviors and compassionate exploration of past experiences that continue to shape current life patterns. Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in Illinois serving adults and couples with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and substance use.

Colleagues and clients have noted her calm, empathetic demeanor and pragmatic focus. Queena aims to meet people where they are, support realistic change, and guide them toward clearer decision making and improved everyday functioning.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Queena commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve functioning, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and addiction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and coping with chronic pain or persistent mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person's goals and preferences, explain different methods, and adjust tactics as progress unfolds so clients and therapist can find what fits best for the situation.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance convenience and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent work around busy lives, maintain momentum between appointments, and access support from home or other locations in Illinois. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises effectively to these remote formats to help clients build skills and track progress over time.
