About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She uses a warm, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can take now to feel steadier and more in control.
She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and impulsivity.
How Shakera works
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas for relationship issues and EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate. Shakera has ten years of experience in mental health work. That time includes supporting people through grief, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and life changes like divorce and separation.
She also helps with self-esteem, body image, social anxiety, and mood concerns. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. She listens first, then offers tools suited to each person's goals.
Work may include coping skills, communication practice, and targeted exercises to address trauma or anxiety. People who reach out can expect straightforward language and concrete steps. Her approach is goal-focused but responsive to each person's pace.
She emphasizes small, realistic changes that add up to better daily functioning.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shakera often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people can talk about what matters most and shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are added when emotion regulation and impulsivity are primary concerns, teaching concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and symptoms, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps find a mix of techniques that match your situation and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
