About Shakera

Shakera Jackson offers a collaborative, skills-based approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy while integrating several complementary methods to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a decade of experience as an LPC in Oklahoma and blends structured techniques with client-centered empathy to help people move from merely surviving to functioning with greater confidence and control. Her practice emphasizes practical tools for coping with depression, anger, grief, and compassion fatigue as well as support for parenting, relationship and family challenges.

Shakera also works with matters such as ADHD, body image, communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to divorce or domestic violence. She draws on EMDR for trauma processing, DBT skills for emotional regulation, and emotionally-focused ideas for improving connection, tailoring methods to each person’s needs.

Sessions focus on identifying barriers, practicing new strategies, and building self-compassion so clients can pursue their goals and daily functioning with increased resilience and clarity.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Shakera often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also integrates client-centered therapy principles to create an accepting, collaborative space where clients contribute their perspectives and goals. When trauma is a focus, elements of EMDR can be introduced to support processing of distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to the client's priorities, and adapt methods over time so treatment aligns with individual needs, goals, and preferences. This allows for a personalized plan that emphasizes both symptom relief and skill-building.

Online therapy with Shakera is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for schedules and comfort levels. These remote options can make it easier to attend sessions consistently, apply strategies between meetings, and maintain continuity of care across changes in daily life.
