About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Oklahoma with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses ADHD and related challenges that affect daily functioning.
Shakera uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotion-focused approaches to help people develop practical strategies. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try alternative responses, and build concrete coping tools.
Her background includes work with people affected by traumatic events and those managing mood and impulse-related concerns. EMDR and DBT are among the approaches she may integrate when they fit a person’s needs. She emphasizes collaboration and asks for regular feedback so therapy stays focused and useful.
In sessions she helps people address specific problems such as communication difficulties, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those navigating divorce, domestic violence recovery, and disruptive mood challenges. Shakera encourages short-term goals alongside longer-term skill building.
Practical steps are a theme in her approach. People can expect concrete assignments between sessions, simple behavioral experiments, and gradual practice of new coping skills. She asks clients to be active partners in choosing which methods to try and to track what works for them.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Shakera commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and to test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on simple steps like tracking thoughts, trying short behavior experiments, and practicing coping skills between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to a person’s priorities so goals come from the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be used for emotion regulation and impulse control, teaching clear skills for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting plans based on feedback.
