About Shakera
Shakera Jackson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and the fallout from trauma so they can move forward. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on practical steps that fit everyday life.
She uses client-centered methods to listen first and understand each person's goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are often woven in to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior ideas are used when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way of progress. Shakera draws on a decade of experience in mental health care. That time includes work with people coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and mood concerns.
She also supports those dealing with ADHD symptoms, body image struggles, and the effects of past abuse or domestic violence. In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. She helps people build routines and small habits that reduce overwhelm and support steady change.
Shakera partners with clients to set realistic goals and measure progress along the way. People who reach out can expect a calm, direct approach that values their expertise about themselves. The work aims to reduce distress and increase the ability to handle life’s demands.
Shakera encourages honest feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy starts by listening and building a trusting partnership; online sessions use that same focus to let clients set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior, which adapts well to video or text work through worksheets and short skill practices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds clear emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed in subsequent online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques and pace over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to practice skills in real time. These formats make it simpler to maintain regular sessions while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
