About Shakera
She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, emotion-focused work to strengthen close relationships, and techniques to process traumatic memories. Sessions focus on learning tools for coping, lowering anxiety, and improving self-esteem.
Shakera has ten years of experience in mental health and brings that background into each meeting. She notices what a person already does well and builds on those strengths. She also pays attention to issues like grief, anger, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.
People often come for help after a sudden life change, a loss, or ongoing pressure that wears them down. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, mood concerns, ADHD, and symptoms tied to trauma. The work mixes skill practice, honest conversation, and gentle challenge.
To begin, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Shakera practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes the client's goals and feedback, letting the person guide the pace and focus of each meeting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT can include setting small homework tasks, tracking mood and thought patterns, and practicing new coping techniques between appointments to reduce anxiety and manage stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people handle interpersonal conflict. Used online, DBT skills work can include learning breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and communication tools to try during the week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean combining elements of different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or saving commute energy. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they meet practical needs while focusing on stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and related goals.
