About Habiba
Habiba Salim, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Habiba also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, multicultural concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, and issues commonly experienced by women and young adults.
Habiba uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and actions that keep distress going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for emotion regulation and tolerating intense feelings.
Her background includes work in educational and clinical settings. That experience shaped how she sees the link between early experiences and current behavior. Habiba explains ideas simply and focuses on skills people can try between sessions.
Sessions tend to center on real-life challenges: relationship tensions, repeated worry, or the weight of guilt and shame. Habiba encourages straightforward practices - experiments, small behavioral shifts, and focused skills work. She helps people test what works and adjust as needed.
People who come for support can expect a collaborative approach. Habiba asks questions, offers exercises drawn from CBT, ACT, and DBT, and helps clients track progress. She invites curiosity about patterns and practical steps to change them.
How ACT, CBT and DBT guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions tied to personal values. It helps when guilt or shame makes people avoid meaningful steps by clarifying what matters and encouraging small values-based moves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can reduce repetitive worry and negative self-judgment.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. These skills are useful when guilt or shame trigger intense reactions or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Habiba will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life and checks in about progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and make regular check-ins easier to keep. If you prefer a shorter phone check-in, or a session that keeps video off to reduce bandwidth, confirm those options when you schedule.
