About Shanika
Shanika Katara Jones is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Shanika works in English and practices from Florida.
Shanika helps people talk through persistent worry and low mood. She addresses relationship struggles and problems with confidence and motivation. Her work also includes managing life transitions and related stressors.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. She also uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. EMDR and existential ideas are part of her toolkit when relevant to a person's history and goals.
Sessions are aimed at creating a straightforward space to name difficult feelings and test new responses. Shanika listens for patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, and codependency, and she helps people practice clearer communication and boundaries. She also addresses issues connected to substance use, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress when they arise.
If someone is facing midlife shifts, questions about life purpose, jealousy, control issues, or multicultural concerns, she brings focused discussion and skills practice. People looking for help with forgiveness work or resolving abandonment and attachment wounds can expect a direct, practical process.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can help with relationship problems and low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns of thinking that keep anxiety or depression active.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention to present-moment experience and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their situation and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This lets practical techniques and exploration be combined depending on the issue at hand.
The original profile did not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are offered by video, phone, or in-person. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, worksheets, and EMDR-compatible techniques for remote work when appropriate, and they can recommend which format will best support a client's goals.
