About Zaakia
Zaakia Bowens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, anger, and changes that come with life. Her work centers on treating each person with kindness and respect.
Zaakia uses a strengths-based approach that looks at what someone already does well. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and then try practical alternatives.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with clear steps to practice between meetings. People often seek Zaakia for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, grief, and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing compassion fatigue and depression.
Conversations are paced to suit the client, with room for emotional processing and practical problem solving. Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then offers tools that fit real life.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, learning new skills, and setting small tasks to build momentum. Zaakia offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to make therapy easier to fit into busy days. She supports people through transitions and aims to help them find clearer ways to manage feelings and stress.

Approaches Zaakia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Zaakia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and focused on skills that reduce worry, manage anger, or ease depressive symptoms through small, repeatable steps.The right therapeutic approach is something she figures out with each person. She will listen to your goals, try techniques that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as you make progress. That collaborative process helps match methods to what actually feels useful in daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short updates into a busy day or to process thoughts between sessions. These flexible formats help people keep momentum and practice new skills in real situations.
