About Shantizia
Shantizia Figgs is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing parenting struggles, self-esteem challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and life transitions. She offers direct, practical support for intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and coping with change. Shantizia speaks English and draws on three years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
She keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented. Conversations aim to identify small, workable steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Expect a mix of talk, skill practice, and problem-solving that fits the concern at hand. Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change.
Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term planning and practical next steps when clients want quicker direction. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person’s life.
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. Parents and young adults often contact her about blended family issues, communication problems, life purpose, mood concerns, and self-love. Shantizia balances emotional support with hands-on strategies so people can try new approaches and track what helps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. That method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive worries because it breaks problems into small steps and experiments.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore mixed feelings about change and to build commitment when someone feels stuck. This approach is conversational and works well when clients are weighing options or finding motivation for new habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If something does not feel helpful, she will shift the plan so it better matches your needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or school routines.
