Shakera Jackson , LPC

Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She blends practical skill-building with empathic listening to help clients move beyond survival and toward a life aligned with their goals and values. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, parenting and family challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and caregiver or compassion fatigue, as well as body image and women's issues.

Drawing on evidence-informed techniques, Shakera emphasizes collaboration and client feedback as central parts of the therapeutic process - she treats each person as the expert on their life and tailors strategies to fit individual needs. She brings particular attention to trauma-related concerns and supports individuals and families through recovery and resilience-building. Her approach focuses on enhancing coping skills, improving communication, and restoring a stronger sense of agency after difficult life events.

Shakera aims to provide thoughtful, goal-oriented care that balances practical tools with emotional support. Prospective clients can expect a steady, respectful partnership intended to help them clarify priorities, manage symptoms, and work toward lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Shakera uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with practical strategies for managing mood and day-to-day stress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges with focus or motivation.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can be especially helpful for strong emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsivity. For trauma-related concerns, Shakera integrates trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing to support recovery and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Shakera works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she tailors techniques over time so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied life situations. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible. These options make it easier to stay engaged in treatment and apply therapeutic tools in everyday life.
