About Shakita
Shakita Stewart is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical support for trauma, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive conversations that honor each person's situation.
Stewart adapts sessions to fit what each client needs. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps to reach them. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what will make daily life easier.
She uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide work in sessions. That means clients can expect talks that clarify unhelpful patterns, build motivation for change, and focus on solutions that can be tried between meetings.
Many people consult her about relationship problems, difficulty coping with life changes, and issues tied to trauma or panic. She also supports those dealing with money and financial issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and challenges like social anxiety and mood problems.
Stewart frames therapy as a collaboration. She helps people identify practical steps and tracks progress over time. The goal is to leave sessions with clear ideas to try, and with growing confidence in handling stressful situations.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Shakita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or mood problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change and building momentum toward goals.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss possible methods, and decide together which approaches fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as goals evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to the day, which can make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
