About Habiba
Habiba Salim is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She also works with adults managing ADHD and related challenges. Her tone is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at people who want clear, usable strategies rather than jargon.
Habiba draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. She focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns and building skills for everyday life.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to include straightforward steps, emotion regulation tools, and values-based goal setting. Her background includes experience in education and counseling across developmental stages, which informs how she links early experiences to current struggles. Habiba has three years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and uses that clinical experience to support people through transitions and relationship challenges.
Therapy with her mixes short-term skills work and deeper exploration, depending on what a person needs. She helps clients recognize repeated patterns and replace them with more helpful habits. Sessions emphasize practical change alongside understanding feelings and history.
People can expect a collaborative approach that balances problem-solving with acceptance of difficult emotions. Habiba aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life, helping clients move toward goals they care about.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT Shape Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines. It often helps with worry, mood shifts, and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and communicating more clearly. Those tools can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense feelings or struggle with impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and exercises so they work in remote sessions and fit into everyday routines.
