Shakita Stewart

Shakita Stewart is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. Shakita also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, communication problems, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.

She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed approaches to help people sort things out. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, identifying thinking and behavior patterns, and practicing skills that can reduce anxiety or improve communication. Shakita lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy among her methods.

Her work often addresses practical problems like money stress, parenting concerns around pregnancy and childbirth, divorce and separation, and mood or panic symptoms. She also supports men and women navigating relationship rifts and issues with self-love and social anxiety. The focus is on manageable steps rather than abstract ideas.

Shakita adapts conversations to the person in front of her and develops a plan together with clear, achievable aims. She pays attention to patterns from past relationships that affect current ones and to how stress shows up day to day. Sessions aim to produce usable tools for coping and clearer ways to approach difficult choices.

If someone is unsure what to try next, Shakita helps narrow options and test small changes. Her practice is based in Florida and she works in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Shakita lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among her main approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing centers on clarifying what matters to a person and resolving mixed feelings about change, which can help with decisions around relationships, finances, or life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals, past attempts, and preferences and then suggest a way forward. That plan can be adjusted as sessions reveal what helps most, so the client and therapist make decisions together about methods and pacing.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an office. Discussing practical scheduling needs during the matching questionnaire helps shape a plan that fits everyday life and goals.
