Online support

Emotion and Skills Work Online

Shakera uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships and in the way they respond to strong feelings. EFT focuses on emotions and connection to reduce distress and improve how people relate to others. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and priorities and creates space for people to be heard and understood without pressure.

In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers clear tools such as thought records and behavior experiments that make daily challenges easier to handle.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shakera will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review how techniques are working and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
