Background and approach

She emphasizes skills such as problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral strategies so clients leave sessions with practical steps to try between meetings. Licensed in Florida as FL Psychologist PY4914, Dr.

Schapiro brings three years of experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related and family problems, parenting and caregiver stress, and challenges such as sleep and eating concerns. She also addresses issues like communication, codependency, commitment and control problems, and life and career transitions.

Integrating focused therapies with flexible online care

Dr. Sarita Schapiro commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Solution-focused Therapy emphasizes concise, goal-directed conversations that highlight strengths and small, practical steps toward desired changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, and together they will choose methods and goals that feel like a good fit for the situation and schedule. That partnership shapes what happens in sessions and which strategies are emphasized.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and try different communication formats as needs evolve.
