About Shakita
Shakita Stewart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and work through relationship and trauma-related concerns. Her approach centers on listening and responding to each person's needs without judgment.
Shakita often helps people strengthen their self-esteem and rebuild confidence after difficult events. She works with practical goals like reducing panic, improving communication, and coping with life changes such as separation or becoming a parent.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and set achievable steps forward. Shakita adapts what happens in session to suit each person's pace and preferences.
That might mean short-term problem solving or a longer path to address deeper trauma. People who choose her tend to want clear strategies they can use between sessions. She emphasizes skills people can practice in daily life to manage anxiety, mood swings, and stress.
She also addresses concerns about money, work, and life purpose when these affect mental health. Her style is compassionate and direct. She encourages honest talk about feelings and behaviors, then helps clients try new ways of handling problems.
The goal is to help people feel more capable and move toward the life they want.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Shakita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past hurt, working at a pace that feels manageable while helping people process traumatic memories and reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how much change they want to make. Together they decide whether short-term strategies or deeper trauma work is the best next step and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video and phone sessions allow for longer conversations when visual or verbal nuance matters. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching between appointments, or when a lower-bandwidth option is needed. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or daily life while keeping therapy focused and practical.
