Online Therapy That Matches Your Goals and Style
Shanita Burgess, LCMHC, integrates approaches that help clients better understand what is fueling burnout, anxiety, and feeling emotionally stuck, while also building skills for day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially helpful for reducing overwhelming thinking, addressing anxiety or depression patterns, and creating more workable responses to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationship stress, which can support clients who feel easily flooded or exhausted by intense emotions. Mindfulness Therapy strengthens the ability to slow down, stay present, and respond with intention rather than autopilot, which can be useful when life feels nonstop or draining.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shanita works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay connected during demanding weeks.
