How Shakiya Uses Therapy Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so people feel heard while they decide what changes to make.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shakiya works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in on progress and adjusts plans as needed so therapy stays practical and focused.

The biography notes availability for virtual sessions, chat, email, and phone, but readers should confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins by phone, and remove travel time. Many people find that virtual sessions let them apply techniques in real life between appointments while keeping therapy consistent with their schedule.
