About Shakita
Shakita adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions to build confidence and motivation. Sessions can include work on communication, managing panic, and improving self-esteem.
Her background includes long-term practice with adults facing life changes such as separation, pregnancy and childbirth, and financial strain. She has helped people dealing with mood challenges, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Shakita also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns that affect relationships.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and immediate goals. Trauma-Focused techniques are used when past events are affecting daily life.
Shakita aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk through painful topics and try new ways of coping. She encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time. If you are navigating a separation, stress, or major life shift, she offers steady support through the process.

How her approaches translate to online work
Shakita often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into clear steps and experiments.Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses to help people find their own reasons for change. It focuses on small, achievable goals and increases readiness to take action when motivation feels low.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use tools like worksheets or guided exercises during or between meetings, so progress continues outside the session.
