About Shaketha

Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She creates a warm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, grief, anxiety, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her approach aims to help each person tap into their own strengths and move toward practical goals.

She uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills that people can use between meetings. The work often involves noticing what matters most, practicing present-moment awareness, and testing small behavior changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions by teaching skills for acting in line with what matters. Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood; it gives people a calm space to sort feelings and decide what they want to change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you go. Together you decide whether to emphasize values work, practical steps, or mindful awareness based on what helps most.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting people choose an option that avoids video when desired. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness exercises to a range of online setups so you can practice skills between meetings and see steady progress.
