About Shatina
LCSW-R in New York with 14 years of clinical practice, Shatina Barr focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She works directly with clients to listen, name problems, and set clear goals. Sessions emphasize practical supports and steady progress over time. Shatina conducts work in English and does not take international clients.
Shatina often begins by mapping what a person wants to change. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and reactions that affect daily life. Conversations include identifying triggers, calming strategies, and skills to manage impulsivity or mood shifts. She also addresses attachment-related struggles and caregiver stress through concrete communication tools and role-focused problem solving.
In sessions about family conflict she helps people sort roles, expectations, and patterns that repeat. For depression and low self-esteem, she breaks larger goals into small, doable steps and tracks what works. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is present, she pays attention to safety and pacing while working through distressing memories.
Shatina integrates attention to guilt, shame, and forgiveness into therapy so people can rebuild self-regard. She supports exploration of life purpose and isolation by encouraging small social experiments and values-based action. Practical homework and short skills practice are common between meetings.

Trauma-Focused approaches and remote sessions
Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying how past harmful events continue to affect daily life. It involves noticing triggers, learning grounding and calming strategies, and working at a pace that reduces overwhelm. This approach is used for post-traumatic stress, ongoing trauma reactions, and situations where memories interfere with relationships or mood.When addressing family conflict and attachment problems, therapy emphasizes communication skills and role-focused work. That looks like practicing specific phrases, setting boundaries, and testing small changes between sessions to see what shifts in relationships and mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what feels doable and adjust pace and techniques as progress is made.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy week. They also let people do short check-ins when longer sessions are hard to arrange, and they reduce travel time so focus stays on skill practice and problem solving.
