About Shakera

Shakera Jackson uses an integrative, client-centered approach to help people move from surviving to thriving. With a focus on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, EFT, and EMDR, she supports clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and relationship or family challenges.

Background and approach

Shakera emphasizes collaboration, treating each person as the expert on their own life while offering professional guidance informed by ten years of practice as a licensed professional counselor. She also works with concerns such as parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues around guilt and shame.

Shakera holds an LPC license in Oklahoma (OK LPC LPC06891) and offers therapy that blends mindfulness and practical skills to address both immediate coping and longer-term emotional growth. Her style centers on building resilience, clarifying values, and helping clients reclaim a sense of agency and purpose in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shakera frequently draws on Internal Family Systems to explore internal roles and parts, helping clients understand conflicting emotions and develop self-led compassion for internal struggles; this approach can be useful for trauma recovery, self-esteem work, and complex emotional patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and guided rather than directed, supporting growth across many life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core tool she employs to identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process where therapist and client assess what fits best for the individual’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. She works together with clients to try methods, monitor what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy remains aligned with changing needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support from a distance.
