Shantizia Figgs

Shantizia Figgs, LCSW, helps people facing anger, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. Her tone is direct and practical to help callers understand what to expect.

Shantizia uses short-term, goal-focused work alongside deeper talk when needed. She adapts each session to the person's needs and preferences. Sessions focus on clear skills, problem solving, and realistic next steps people can try between meetings.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide planning and action. That means identifying patterns that get in the way, setting achievable goals, and building motivation for change. She keeps language simple and steps concrete so progress feels visible.

Shantizia holds a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida. She brings three years of work specifically noted in counseling practice and experience with adolescents and adults. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to bring questions to each session.

People who want to start are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is intended to help match goals to practical strategies and to set a clear plan for follow-up work between appointments.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Shantizia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build the motivation to try new strategies.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to set goals, try a method, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together so work matches personal needs and pace.

Confirm session formats before booking, as current offerings are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to attend sessions. Talk with the therapist about how to structure appointments to match your schedule and goals.
