About Shaiuana
Shaiuana Okoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues, and she helps people seeking clearer ways to manage emotions and behavior.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habitual reactions. Sessions often involve identifying patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building coping skills. Shaiuana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based methods to address mood and anxiety symptoms.
Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and parenting stress. For people managing substance use or compulsive habits, motivational strategies and DBT-informed skills are part of the plan. She also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, and career stress.
Shaiuana often helps clients facing social isolation, abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and sexual assault recovery. She pays attention to somatic signs and ways the body holds stress, and she includes mindfulness exercises when helpful. Her approach aims for concrete, repeatable steps rather than abstract talk.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Texas. The LPC credential indicates state licensure as a professional counselor. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their goals.
How CBT and related methods are used online
Shaiuana integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to focus on thoughts, behaviors, and values. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions to try concrete changes. ACT helps people notice what matters and make choices that align with those values even when feelings are difficult.She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client's experience and to listen for what matters most. Together these approaches are used to create practical steps, like testing new ways of responding to anxiety, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, and building coping routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time. This is a collaborative process that may mix CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or mindfulness depending on the issue and how the person responds.
