How her approaches guide online sessions

Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and depressive moods. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment for goals like career moves or lifestyle shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations practical and forward-looking by identifying strengths and creating quick, achievable steps.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer quieter alternatives to in-person travel, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment isn't needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques so clients can practice changes between sessions and apply them directly to daily routines.
