About Shantizia
Shantizia Figgs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Her direct, calm manner aims to make first steps easier for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Shantizia uses practical talk and goal-focused techniques to help people find small, useful changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear skills, short-term goals, and strategies to reduce distress in daily life. She trained at Florida State University and holds a Masters of Social Work. Her credential is LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida.
She has three years of experience working in counseling settings and has provided care to adolescent and adult clients. In sessions she tends to keep things straightforward. People can expect to talk through what matters most, try a few concrete tools, and notice what helps between meetings.
She works with issues such as blended family challenges, communication problems, career decisions, mood concerns, women's issues, self-love, and young adult transitions. Her approach adapts to the person in front of her. That means plans change as goals shift, and techniques are chosen to fit real life.
She encourages small steps and regular check-ins so progress feels manageable.
How her approaches work online
Shantizia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing online. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going and then testing small changes to shift them. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes and builds motivation in a gentle, conversational way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed or adjusted as needs change over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options let someone check in between meetings or fit a quick session into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or school.
