About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and a doctoral degree in counselor education and supervision to her practice.
Her work centers on building a trusting, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She uses an integrative approach that blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she focuses on practical tools and clear steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to help clients notice their strengths and use them to meet goals. Dr. Blankenship has supported people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and trauma and abuse.
She also helps with issues like self-esteem, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, career questions, and coping with life changes. ADHD and LGBT concerns are part of her past work as well. Her style is encouraging and respectful.
She gives space for people to describe their experience and then works collaboratively to select approaches that fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on step-by-step strategies, compassionate listening, and practical mindfulness skills. People who prefer straightforward conversation and concrete strategies often do well with this approach.
Dr. Blankenship invites those who want to make steady changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to start.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It often focuses on reducing the struggle with difficult thoughts and building actions that fit personal goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room - the therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports growth by valuing the client's perspective and strengths.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative exploration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and longer conversational work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, goal tracking, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule consistent support around work, school, and family demands.
