Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Shakita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, panic, and low mood and to build practical coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of her practice and concentrates on addressing the impacts of traumatic experiences and supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are feeling stuck or unsure about change - it is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps clarify personal goals and increase motivation for action.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shakita works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are partners in choosing what feels most useful for them.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and daily life, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support across a range of concerns and circumstances.
