About Shivana

LMHC in Florida with 13 years of experience, Shivana Gentry focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, anger, coaching, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Shivana uses client-centered methods to help people identify their strengths and make practical changes. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new coping skills. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

The Gottman Method informs her work with relationship and communication problems, helping people notice interaction patterns and try small different behaviors. She also draws on Jungian ideas to explore meaning, values, and recurring life themes when that is useful to a person.

In sessions she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps plan next steps. Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing new skills, and checking what worked between meetings. The focus is on clear, manageable changes rather than long explanations.

She recognizes that making a change can feel hard. Shivana aims to help people try practical strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people draw on their own strengths. In online sessions this looks like reflective conversation, identifying priorities, and planning small, practical steps to try between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Practically, CBT in remote sessions involves setting brief exercises, tracking thoughts or behavior, and reviewing what changed.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm through short practices and skills for handling stress. Online meetings can include guided breathing or noticing exercises and then discussion about how those practices fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, fit sessions around work or caregiving, or use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life while testing approaches that match the person’s goals.
