About Sarita

Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4914) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and addictions. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make each visit feel practical and useful for everyday life.

She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience in focus. Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step strategies that can be tried between visits. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable alternatives.

Solution-focused methods are part of the plan too, so sessions often identify small, concrete changes that lead to relief. The work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy matters, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, anger, and self-esteem. Coaching and career concerns are also addressed where relevant.

Dr. Schapiro brings three years of documented experience in the context of the supplied profile data. She describes a practical approach that centers on skills training, problem solving, and cognitive restructuring. The aim is for people to leave sessions with strategies they can use immediately.

She also lists additional attention to issues such as abandonment, codependency, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and related concerns. The overall focus is on developing resilience and usable tools for coping with life changes.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a collaborative relationship; it helps when someone needs support making sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific exercises to change those patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps toward clear goals and can speed up progress when people want concrete changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or choosing a quieter setting that works for you. They also let people continue work while moving through life changes without needing to rearrange as many commitments.
