About Shameka
She works in ways that fit each person's life. Sessions often focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Shameka helps people spot unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and try small experiments that lead to change. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce tension and improve moment-to-moment awareness.
Her background includes three years as an LCSW practicing in Texas. That experience includes supporting people through grief, caregiving stress, and career and parenting challenges. She also attends to issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and identity-related stress for LGBT clients.
Shameka has additional focus on intellectual disability, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and life transitions like hospice and end-of-life counseling. She helps people navigate communication problems, feelings of isolation, and family-related strain without making assumptions about their situation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory. Shameka encourages collaboration and practical tools people can use between sessions.

Step 3
Therapeutic approaches that lend well to online work
Shameka uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this often looks like setting small practice tasks and checking progress week to week. Mindfulness Therapy is used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity through short exercises and breathing practices that can be guided during a session. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical goals and building on a person's existing strengths to produce quick, usable steps toward change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on how well techniques match the client’s daily life and progress.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a session that doesn't require travel. It can also allow continued work through life transitions, support for caregiving challenges, and flexible scheduling for people juggling multiple responsibilities.
