Shirley St Juste

Shirley St Juste is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also offers coaching support and help for concentration, memory, and ADHD-related concerns.

Shirley helps clients talk through what feels overwhelming and notices practical patterns that keep problems going. She encourages clear, direct conversation about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on small steps that can be used between meetings in everyday life.

Her background includes long experience supporting people through transitions like separation, immigration, and caregiving strain. She has also worked with issues tied to family of origin, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns. Shirley brings this experience into conversations about control, guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

People sometimes come for help with chronic pain, illness, or the stress first responders face. Others seek support for feelings of emptiness or for coping after disasters. Shirley listens for what matters most now and helps people try different ways of responding.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. She practices in Florida and does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online sign-up flow.

Therapeutic techniques and how they translate to online work

Shirley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear conversation and practical skills. One common approach she relies on involves identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then testing small changes to those patterns in daily life. This helps with worry, low mood, and concentration challenges.

Another technique emphasizes coaching-style work for people navigating life changes or professional transitions. That approach breaks bigger goals into manageable steps, supports decision-making, and builds routines that can improve focus and memory.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shirley collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods based on what the client notices is helpful, and she discusses options openly so people understand the plan for sessions.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks. Others like having a session without needing to be on camera or prefer a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth is limited. Practical benefits include scheduling that aligns with work or caregiving demands and keeping momentum by meeting from wherever is most convenient.
