About Queena
Queena Howard is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 21 years of experience. She helps people work through stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, and the everyday strain of parenting and relationships. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than long delays.
She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help people make tangible improvements. Sessions often look at patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness exercises and motivational conversation are used to build small habits that add up over time.
Background and approach
That combination can help with sleep, self-esteem, impulse control, and mood swings. Queena has supported people facing grief, trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the loneliness that follows big life changes. She also addresses issues linked to substance use, co-occurring mood disorders, and communication problems within families.
Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and identity issues such as LGBT matters. In practice she balances listening with practical steps. She will collaborate on goals and offer tools you can try between sessions.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning. Queena practices in Illinois and offers a range of session formats to fit different needs. Her background spans more than two decades of clinical work across adult populations, and she draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s situation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy starts by putting your concerns at the center of the conversation. The therapist listens closely and helps you set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, impulse control, and emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what helps you make progress. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.
Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or camera use is inconvenient. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share brief updates, try techniques between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to practice skills regularly and stay connected to a licensed professional while managing daily responsibilities.
