About Zaakia

Zaakia Bowens is an LPC practicing in Texas who brings 16 years of professional experience to her work supporting emotional wellness.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, career concerns, parenting and family issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the transitions that come with life changes. Her background equips her to offer practical, goal-oriented support while attending to each person's unique situation.

She draws on a strengths-based perspective, meeting people with kindness, compassion, and respect while encouraging their existing resources and abilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informs her approach, offering structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances practical skills with attention to personal values and goals. Zaakia conducts sessions in English and is based in Texas.

Therapy is offered through a subscription model with flexible scheduling, and her practice provides multiple session formats to fit different needs and routines.

CBT-Informed Care and Online Access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it commonly supports work on anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving in daily life. Zaakia integrates a strengths-based perspective alongside CBT techniques, emphasizing the client’s existing resources and building on what already works to promote resilience and clearer decision making.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies based on progress and preferences. This shared decision making helps tailor interventions to the individual rather than relying on a single fixed method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with different schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to engage in regular work on goals from home or another convenient location, while still allowing for interactive skill practice, check-ins, and ongoing support from a licensed professional.
