About Siarra
Siarra Maketo is a licensed social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to identify practical steps that fit a person’s life. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and steady support during change.
Siarra holds an LMSW, which means she is a licensed master social worker in Michigan. She has nine years of experience working with people facing depression, grief, addiction, and trauma.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with issues such as ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she focuses on what you want to change. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thinking and shifting behavior patterns that keep problems active. Siarra also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, infidelity, jealousy, and questions around gender dysphoria and non-monogamous arrangements. She frames work around your values and daily routines, not jargon.
Practical strategies and short-term action steps are common in her work. People who reach out can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and help making plans that fit busy lives. She encourages gradual progress and checks in about what is or isn’t working.
The aim is clearer choices, fewer reactive moments, and better tools for handling life’s pressures.

CBT and practical tools for online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and then try different behaviors to see what works. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues because it breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions that can be changed.Sessions also focus on practical strategies tailored to your daily life. That can include step-by-step plans to reduce reactivity, exercises to improve sleep, or small behavior changes to lower stress. These techniques are useful for addressing things like relationship conflict, compulsive behaviors, and managing cravings in addictions.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, rhythm, and preferences. If CBT is not the right fit at first, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions.
