About Shantizia

She also helps people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career changes, and intimacy-related issues. Shantizia presents information plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
She uses short-term, goal-oriented approaches to help clients make practical changes.
How Shantizia works
Sessions often include clear steps people can try between meetings. The work is collaborative and focused on what a person wants to change in daily life. Shantizia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions.
With CBT she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify values and strengthen the desire to change. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals and track progress.
She has three years of clinical experience as an LCSW. Her background includes supporting people with blended family issues, communication problems, life purpose questions, mood disorders, and self-love. Sessions are offered in English and held online using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that lead to different outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues, and stress because it focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach helps clarify what matters most and builds confidence to take the next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, realistic goals and notice progress quickly, which can be encouraging when life feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and each person's day-to-day realities to decide which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for deeper conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options help fit therapy around work, school, parenting, and other responsibilities.
