About Shakita
Shakita uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She listens for the goals someone brings and then tailors the sessions to fit those goals. This might include short-term problem solving or deeper work on past events that still affect daily life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and test small changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons and motivation to try different steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of the work when past hurt is keeping someone stuck.
Shakita pays attention to practical issues like managing panic attacks, building self-esteem, and handling life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as attachment and communication problems, divorce and separation, money stress, and pregnancy or postpartum challenges. Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to change in their life.
Respect, sensitivity, and compassion guide her interactions. She aims to help people move toward clearer choices and more satisfying daily routines. To start, readers are encouraged to follow the site process to match with her and schedule according to her availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Shakita often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try new, small changes that can feel manageable. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on what a person wants to be different now, building on existing strengths to reach those goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose or blend techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made over early sessions rather than a one-time label.
Please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, scheduling a shorter check-in between commitments or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions when someone prefers not to use video and would rather have an audio visit or when a quieter environment at home helps focus. Licensed professionals like Shakita aim to adapt the work to daily routines so therapy fits into life rather than competing with it.
