Mackenzie Howard

Counselor Trainee | She/Her

Mackenzie Howard works with adolescents, young adults, and adults in individual counseling, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. She is passionate about creating a welcoming space where clients feel safe, seen, and heard through both difficult moments and meaningful progress.

Mackenzie brings an honest, warm, and direct approach to counseling. She takes time to get to know each person and believes clients are the experts on their own experiences. Together, she and her clients identify what matters most to them, explore challenges, and develop practical ways to manage stress and emotions.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach, incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She helps clients explore connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building skills to navigate everyday challenges. Collaboration guides the process, with clients helping shape the direction of their sessions.

Mackenzie understands that reaching out for support can feel intimidating. She wants clients to know they do not need to arrive with all the answers. Counseling offers an opportunity to build trust, identify goals, and work together toward manageable next steps.

Mackenzie is pursuing her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. She offers in-person appointments at Self Care Counseling’s Loveland office and telehealth appointments. She practices under the supervision of Darsey Stump, LPCC-S, LICDC, LMHC, and Savannah Kreiner, LPCC.

Outside of work, Mackenzie enjoys fiber arts, including crochet, sewing, and embroidery.
