Shashana Carter

Shashana Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a warm, listening approach. She holds LCSW-C and LICSW credentials and draws on six years of therapy experience to help people work through difficult feelings like anger, stress, and anxiety.

She focuses on practical change. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way and to build small, realistic steps forward. People come for help with relationship problems, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, work stress, self-esteem, and life transitions, among other issues.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to try out new thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to create clearer communication and healthier day-to-day routines.

Shashana has previous experience in social services, probation settings, and opioid maintenance programs. That background informs a focus on practical problem solving and coping skills that fit real life.

Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from her Maryland practice. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How client-centered and CBT work online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and guiding sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story, feel understood, and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to try between sessions, useful for anger, anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered care, CBT, or a mix will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the current session formats before booking to know how sessions are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow work on practical skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to coach through real-time challenges and to support changes that carry over into daily routines.
