Approaches That Guide Online Healing and Growth

Shakera Jackson integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her online work to create a practical and compassionate process. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship, listening deeply, and helping clients explore their values and goals so they feel heard and supported. Cognitive behavioral therapy is action-oriented and teaches skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy - DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Together these approaches allow for both empathic support and concrete tools tailored to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shakera collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around busy lives and access support from wherever a client is located within the therapist’s service area. This flexibility helps maintain continuity of care and makes engaging in therapy more manageable for many people.
