About Sarita
Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a FL Psychologist (PY4914) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other everyday problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She starts by asking what brought someone in and turns that into clear, reachable goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and solution-focused ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and small behavioral steps. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Dr. Schapiro also helps with issues that often sit behind current problems, such as abandonment, family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and commitment concerns. She offers coaching-style work for parenting challenges, career questions, and coping with life changes. Practical skills like sleep routines, eating patterns, and anger management are common focuses.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward problem solving and short-term strategies. People who want to notice thought patterns and test alternative responses will find a structured focus on behavior and thinking. Work often includes setting tasks, reviewing what happened, and adjusting plans for the next session.
Sessions are described as focused and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday functioning. Dr. Schapiro aims to help people carry strategies back into their routines so progress can be measured and refined over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Schapiro combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters most to them. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals that move a person toward clear outcomes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then recommend methods to try. This is collaborative - the person and therapist decide which strategies to keep or adjust as progress is reviewed.
