Shirley St Juste

Shirley St Juste is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and supports those coping with major life changes. She also offers coaching for professional and executive concerns and assistance with concentration and memory challenges.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversations are paced to each person's needs, and practical steps are offered to help with daily functioning. Shirley works with people who are dealing with grief, overwhelm, and the strain that follows relationship endings such as divorce and separation.

Her background includes long experience supporting people with attention and focus difficulties and with caregivers who face ongoing stress. She also addresses communication problems, family of origin concerns, and issues tied to immigration or first responder work. Chronic pain, illness, and disability are also noted areas she helps people navigate.

Shirley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit each person's situation and goals. She emphasizes collaboration so clients understand their options and choose what feels most useful. The approach is practical, aimed at helping people regain routine, handle emotions, and move forward.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Shirley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people gain coping skills and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on building practical skills for stress and anxiety management, such as step-by-step strategies for calming symptoms and organizing daily routines. Another approach emphasizes coaching-style work for executive and professional concerns, helping people set goals, improve concentration, and track progress over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shirley works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative method helps clients try options and keep what works best for them.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between commitments. It can also make coaching and skill-building more convenient for people balancing work and home responsibilities.
