About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on helping people move from surviving to thriving. She uses a collaborative, person-focused style that invites clients to name goals and take steps toward them. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build practical ways to handle stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain.
She brings ten years of experience in mental health to each session. Shakera applies Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot thought patterns and practice different responses.
Shakera helps people dealing with trauma, depression, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns. She also supports those working through grief, divorce, domestic violence impacts, and communication problems. Sessions focus on concrete skills for coping, emotion regulation, and healthier interactions.
Her style is straightforward and encouraging. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set small, workable steps toward goals. The work is collaborative - clients set the pace and priorities.
Shakera practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with an appropriate schedule. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflection, and gentle guidance to build motivation for new habits and decisions. This approach can help with procrastination, ambivalence about treatment, and making lifestyle shifts.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client’s choices rather than directing them. This method is useful for building self-worth, processing grief, and improving communication in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors. It gives concrete tools for addressing anxiety, mood problems, and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches and adapt as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can use these strengths to keep progress moving between in-person visits when those are practical. -
