How Sharnita works
Sharnita pays attention to cultural background and life experience when she talks with clients. She offers a respectful space for people to process hurt, betrayal, or major life changes. She also works with concerns tied to abandonment, infidelity, and family of origin issues.
Her practice includes attention to mood disorders and panic symptoms, as well as specific topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and the dynamics of alternative sex culture including BDSM and kink. She addresses communication problems and impulsivity alongside broader mental health needs. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online through several formats.
People who want to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Sharnita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life problem solving. One approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought strategies to reduce overwhelming moments and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets mood and trauma-related symptoms by helping people identify patterns, process difficult memories safely, and build steady coping routines that support better mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler during a busy day. Live chat and text sessions are available for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or when messaging better suits a person’s routine. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
