About Shatema
Shatema Mason is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support people as they take first steps toward change.
Shatema centers sessions on the person's goals and strengths. She listens closely and follows a client-centered style so the person remains in control of their own healing. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people spot unhelpful patterns and to build practical steps forward.
In sessions she aims for clear, down-to-earth conversations. Expect short-term goals mixed with space to talk through deeper concerns. She often draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, manageable steps between sessions.
Shatema has five years of professional experience as an LCSW in Florida. She speaks English and works with adults who want practical support with mood, stress, and relationship habits. She believes small changes can add up to meaningful improvement.
Her approach is gentle but purposeful. She encourages people to recognize their strengths and to try things that fit their life. The focus is on what helps now and what moves someone toward a healthier routine.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation step by step. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the person's priorities so they feel guided rather than directed. This approach helps people who need space to process feelings and decide what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with the person. She will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real life needs and preferences rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone choose quieter times or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals will work with you to shape sessions that fit your routine and goals. -
