About Sarita
She uses a client-centered approach to listen to each person's story and build goals that feel realistic. Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques are part of her work to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings solution-focused strategies to create short-term, actionable steps clients can try between sessions.
Her practice emphasizes simple, usable tools for managing eating and sleeping concerns, addiction-related struggles, anger, and self-esteem issues. She supports people coping with life changes, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy-related difficulties by breaking problems into manageable parts and rehearsing new responses.
Dr. Schapiro draws on three years of documented experience in the context provided here and uses clear, goal-oriented sessions so people leave with something to try. She offers guidance for parents on handling parenting challenges and blended family concerns, and she addresses communication problems, commitment worries, and codependency issues in relationship work.
People interested in starting can expect focused, practical sessions that emphasize problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral techniques. Her bilingual ability can help Spanish-speaking clients connect and work through issues in their preferred language.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the client. The therapist creates space to understand what feels most important and follows the client's priorities when planning work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. It is practical and often involves exercises to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on short-term steps and strengths, aiming to create doable changes quickly rather than rehashing every detail of the past.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and checking in regularly about what is helping.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can help people keep consistent work on goals despite a busy schedule.
