About Shaketha

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience, Dr. Shaketha Blankenship focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She works with adults and other age groups across a wide range of issues, including grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

Dr. Blankenship uses several practical approaches in her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and commit to actions that reflect those values. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and responds, keeping the person's experience central. Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy offer brief, skills-based options people can use between sessions.

Her style emphasizes clear conversation and useful exercises rather than abstract theory. She helps people name specific problems, try small changes, and track what works. For parents this can mean short strategies to manage stress and improve daily routines. For people facing grief or trauma the focus is on manageable steps toward coping and functioning.

Practical matters are explained up front. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session using the See online therapy options button.

Dr. Blankenship’s combination of approaches aims to match treatment to the person’s goals and situation. She works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the issue at hand and the client’s preferred pace.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward actions that match those values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening carefully and responding to the person’s experience, helping someone talk through concerns and make their own decisions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention practices and grounding exercises to reduce rumination and improve day-to-day coping.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, fit appointments into a workday, or use quieter surroundings without travel. Therapists often blend focused exercises from ACT and mindfulness into sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
