Background and approach
She spent many years working with people who experienced severe and persistent mental illness and with those managing drug and alcohol addictions. That background shaped her interest in teaching clear, usable coping skills. In sessions she uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing and some solution-focused ideas.
Those approaches help with managing stress, mood shifts, substance use concerns, and unhelpful thinking patterns. She emphasizes building confidence, self-esteem, and awareness so people can make changes that fit their lives. Shequitta aims for straightforward, skill-based work.
She helps clients identify patterns, practice new behaviors, and set small, achievable goals. Conversations tend to be direct and supportive, with an eye toward what works between sessions. People come to her for help with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma, relationship or intimacy struggles, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style suits people who want practical strategies and steady guidance while they work through life changes.
Therapeutic techniques and how they work online
Shequitta frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches simple exercises people can practice between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. DBT techniques help people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shequitta will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow eye contact and more in-depth conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
