Shakera Jackson, LPC

Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She keeps sessions focused and straightforward so clients can take small steps that feel doable. Her style emphasizes listening first, then building plans that match each person's life and goals.

Shakera draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other approaches to address worry, self-esteem struggles, and mood challenges. She offers tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors that can change how someone feels. For people coping with grief, anger, or major life changes, she combines skill-building with supportive conversation.

Her background includes ten years working in mental health settings in Oklahoma. That experience includes supporting people dealing with trauma and relationship or family stress. She uses different methods such as dialectical skills for emotion regulation, emotion-focused techniques for relationship issues, and EMDR-style concepts when trauma processing is appropriate.

Sessions are collaborative. Shakera invites clients to share what matters most and helps set practical goals. She also supports parents managing parenting stress and caregiver challenges, and she works with concerns like ADHD symptoms, body image, and social anxiety.

Her approach is straightforward and solution-oriented while staying grounded in the person's values. People who want clear strategies, regular check-ins, and a caring listener may find her approach helpful.

CBT, client-centered work, and online sessions

Shakera often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is goal-oriented and gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and building a plan together. That approach centers the client's priorities and relies on collaboration to set goals and test new ways of coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are sometimes included to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are made together so people know why a particular skill or exercise is being used.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat is useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use the format that feels most practical.
