Shakera Jackson, LPC

Shakera Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She combines clinical training with a practical, strengths-based approach to help individuals and families move from merely coping to making meaningful changes in their daily lives. As both a therapist and a wellness coach, she prioritizes collaboration and empowers each person to shape their own goals and treatment plan.

Shakera holds certification in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and works extensively with youth and families affected by traumatic events. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, parenting and family dynamics, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, self-esteem and body image, and social anxiety. She integrates multiple evidence-informed modalities - including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems - tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

Shakera emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the process. She believes people bring essential insight about themselves and values regular feedback to ensure therapy stays relevant and effective. Her approach balances practical coping strategies with deeper work around trauma and relationship patterns, aiming to help individuals build resilience, improve communication, and pursue their personal goals with greater confidence.
