Shakera Jackson , LPC

Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who brings a compassionate, strengths-focused approach to therapy. With 10 years of experience in mental health, she helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, grief, anger, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image struggles, caregiver stress, and life transitions.

Shakera emphasizes collaboration and believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She works alongside each person to set realistic goals and develop practical skills for coping and growth. Her work centers on helping individuals move from merely surviving to actively pursuing the life they want, with attention to communication, self-love, and increased emotional resilience.

She has experience supporting youth and families affected by traumatic events and takes a tailored, person-centered stance that adapts evidence-based strategies to each client’s needs. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where feedback guides the therapeutic process and progress is measured against the client’s own values and goals. Shakera seeks to empower people to reclaim agency, reduce symptoms that limit daily functioning, and build stronger relationships and healthier routines.

Therapeutic Approaches Suited for Online Care

Shakera Jackson draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply, honoring each person’s perspective, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they set their own goals. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. EMDR is an evidence-informed method often used to address traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity by processing those experiences in a guided way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shakera works with clients to explore which methods align with their history, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The therapeutic relationship and client preferences guide decisions about which techniques to emphasize.

Online therapy enables the same therapeutic work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, easier access for people with transportation or mobility challenges, and the ability to continue care during life transitions. For many clients, virtual sessions make it simpler to engage consistently with therapists and practice new skills between appointments.
