About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Oklahoma with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and issues like guilt and shame. Sessions address parenting strain, grief, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Shakera uses straightforward, practical conversation and therapy methods to help people sort through what is weighing on them. She listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps name those patterns. Then she works with clients to try different skills and ways of seeing the problem so daily life feels more manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and EMDR. That means she blends talking, learning new coping skills, attention to emotions in relationships, and trauma-focused methods when appropriate. She frames each step as a collaborative choice rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions can cover things like body image, communication problems, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, and post-traumatic stress. Shakera also supports people dealing with self-esteem, self-love, social anxiety, and challenges common to young adults and women.
To get started she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based pricing varies with location and can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own answers. Online sessions let the therapist follow a person's lead and use conversation to clarify feelings and priorities, which can help with shame or guilt that feels confusing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy CBT is often delivered through focused discussion, short between-session exercises, and concrete skill practice to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can teach these skills and include brief check-ins to practice them between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is reviewed.
Formats for sessions are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on finding useful tools and ways of thinking that make everyday life more manageable without promising a specific result.
