About Shaunta

Shaunta Gills-Roberson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Shaunta aims to make the first step feel attainable and meets each person with respect and compassion.

Her approach is straightforward and individualized. Shaunta listens first, then builds a plan that fits the person's goals and situation. She uses practical strategies people can try between sessions and adapts her style as needs change.

Shaunta often draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the person's own values and choices. She also uses elements from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and from solution-focused therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. When past trauma is part of the picture she incorporates trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories and reactions.

Sessions move at a pace the client can handle. Shaunta focuses on clear steps for coping, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence. She pays attention to how relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and family dynamics affect everyday life.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Shaunta recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process respectful and practical.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps people make choices that fit their life. This approach suits worries about relationships, self-esteem, and decision making.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small steps to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it gives tools you can practice between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on what’s working and on short-term goals. It helps set clear next steps and track progress, which can be helpful when coping with life changes or rebuilding confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the client's situation and goals, then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to stay consistent. Others appreciate being able to choose shorter check-ins or sessions that don't require video for days when that feels better. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions can match daily life and practical needs.
