About Shanita
Shanita Burch is an LCSW-C with 22 years of experience based in Maryland. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She takes a practical, structured approach that looks at what is happening now and what steps can change daily habits. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, trying small changes, and tracking what works. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help finding reasons to change or staying motivated.
Burch also uses client-centered methods to listen and follow the person's priorities, and draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful. That means she pays attention to past patterns that repeat and to quick, goal-oriented strategies that can make daily life easier. She emphasizes steady progress and realistic steps rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes many years working with adults, seniors, active duty service members, veterans, and people dealing with addiction, grief, and life transitions. The experience supports a range of concerns including caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and multicultural matters.

Approaches you can try online
Shanita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to practice different responses. CBT sessions often include specific skills to change habits and short experiments to see what helps in daily life.She also works from a client-centered perspective, which means listening to the person's priorities and shaping sessions around what they want to work on. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change or overcoming mixed feelings about taking steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust strategies based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps focus on practical steps and realistic progress.
