Dr. Sarita Schapiro

Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist who uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anger, relationship strain, and other everyday problems. She works in English and Spanish and aims to leave each session with clear next steps a person can try between appointments.

She frames conversations around realistic goals and builds on the client’s strengths. Her sessions focus on problem solving, life skills coaching, and simple strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or handle parenting challenges. Cognitive techniques are used to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and support better daily choices.

Dr. Schapiro draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to reframe problems into workable steps. Sessions emphasize small, practical changes that can be tested and adjusted over time. This approach is useful for people facing grief, depression, addiction concerns, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her practice and is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Clients work on concrete skills such as coping plans, thought records, and behavior experiments to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

With three years of documented experience in this profile, she combines these methods into short-term, goal-oriented work. The focus is on helping people build resilience, manage anger, and regain control of daily routines.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps a client identify their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting out emotions like anger or sadness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in practice emphasizes spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Clients learn tools such as thought records and behavior experiments to change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. These exercises can be paced to fit into everyday life.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, practical changes. Sessions set short-term goals and encourage trying new actions between meetings. This is useful for handling immediate problems like relationship conflicts or coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That planning happens together and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings to reinforce what they practice in sessions.
