She invites people to start small and build from there.
Approaches that guide online care
Shakirah draws on clear, evidence-based techniques to help people make practical changes. One approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress through step-by-step practice and short exercises that can be used between sessions. Another approach targets mood regulation and problem solving for depression and bipolar symptoms by breaking problems into manageable parts and trying small, measurable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and daily routines. Plans are adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer so clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper discussions that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain over time.
