About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and traumatic experiences. She offers straightforward support to help clients move from merely surviving to making clearer choices in their everyday lives. Her approach centers on practical steps you can use right away.
Shakera draws on ten years of experience in mental health to guide people through grief, relationship strains, and mood concerns. She works with common struggles like low self-esteem, anger, caregiver stress, and the fallout from domestic violence or other traumatic events.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing life transitions, parenting stress, and symptoms of ADHD. In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas and EMDR to address trauma when appropriate.
The work is collaborative: she listens, offers structure, and adapts techniques to each person’s needs. Practical skill-building is a frequent focus. Clients may practice ways to manage anxiety, set boundaries, improve communication, or calm intense emotions.
Shakera emphasizes short-term strategies that fit into daily life while also addressing deeper patterns that cause pain. She provides care from Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Shakera commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where clients set the pace and topics of work. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the counselor and client to focus on what matters most to the individual.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it gives clear tools you can practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also part of her work for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal skills.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, practice skills, or have shorter check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the same therapeutic tools.
