About Shakaria
She centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and works to make small, doable changes that build confidence. Sessions focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and coping skills for hard days.
Shakaria uses several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered work that follows the client's lead and cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to help with relationship patterns and narrative methods to reframe difficult experiences.
In practice she listens for what matters most, then partners with people to set short goals. That might mean shifting a thought pattern that feeds jealousy or practicing new ways to ask for what’s needed. She aims to make progress feel measurable and relevant to everyday life.
Her background includes supporting people through adoption and foster care challenges, blended family issues, codependency, and forgiveness work. People who are coping with loss, guilt, hoarding concerns, or chronic feelings of emptiness may find focused support in her approach.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. It helps people feel heard and builds on their strengths to address issues like relationship strain or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It often includes simple exercises people can use between sessions to manage jealousy, anxiety, or unhelpful thinking patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and change patterns in close relationships by exploring emotions and attachment needs. This can be useful when dealing with communication problems, infidelity, or recurring conflict.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. The focus is on practical work that fits into everyday life and helps build skills that carry over outside sessions.
