About Shashana
Shashana Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses in Maryland (LCSW-C) and Massachusetts (LICSW) and six years of direct clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and daily challenges.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also works from a client-centered stance, listening and reflecting to clarify goals. These approaches are used to address issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her background includes work in social services, probation settings, and opioid maintenance centers. That experience shaped how she helps people set realistic goals and solve practical problems in everyday life. She supports people working through family conflict, parenting strain, career questions, and life transitions.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication and actionable skills. People practice new ways of thinking, small behavior changes, and step-by-step plans. Those techniques are applied to concerns like obsessive thoughts, anger, intimacy issues, and coping with loss.
Shashana speaks English and works with adult clients in Maryland. She uses a subscription-based fee structure that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shashana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to try practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often include specific exercises, homework tasks, and short skill-building practices aimed at problems like anxiety, depression, sleep, and obsessive thoughts.She also draws on client-centered methods, which means listening closely and reflecting what the client says to help set clear, realistic goals. That approach helps people clarify what they want to change and decide together which methods to try first.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust plans as progress is made.
