Shakera Jackson

Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move from surviving to thriving. She frames therapy around the person in front of her and values collaboration, clear goals, and steady progress. Shakera uses practical strategies to address common struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, and the ripple effects of trauma.

She brings ten years of experience in mental health work to her practice. That background includes supporting people through grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and the strong emotions that come with major life changes. Divorce and separation is listed among her focus areas, and she helps clients navigate the practical and emotional shifts that follow those events.

Shakera uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally focused ideas, and EMDR tools when appropriate. Sessions aim to be straightforward and actionable, with concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also addresses concerns like self-esteem, body image, ADHD-related struggles, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Communication problems, boundaries, and guilt or shame are common topics she helps people work through. The emphasis is on clear steps clients can take between sessions to see change.

Shakera practices in Oklahoma and conducts work in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow on the site. She emphasizes regular feedback so therapy stays aligned with each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them name goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - adds skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening communication.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss which methods seem to match a person’s priorities and try techniques collaboratively. Goals, preferences, and what feels helpful guide decisions rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, and let someone choose an appointment time that fits around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions and focus on skills that can be practiced between meetings.
