About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career questions, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
She uses several counseling approaches and blends them to fit a person's situation. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take, short-term strategies for immediate problems, and mindful practices to reduce reactivity. Conversations are straightforward and aim to surface useful skills that can be tried between meetings.
Her background includes long experience with a wide age range of clients, and she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix is used to help people notice what matters to them, build on strengths, and try small changes that lead to clearer choices.
In sessions she listens for what is working and what is getting in the way. She helps people set concrete goals and tracks progress with simple steps. For someone carrying the weight of parenting or strained family ties, the focus is on daily routines, communication habits, and practical coping tools.
She offers services in English and practices in Georgia. For people beginning work with her, the usual first move is a short questionnaire to match goals and then scheduling a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It is useful for people coping with anxiety, depression, or life transitions who want a clear, value-based direction.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection. It helps people feel understood and notice their own choices so they can try different behaviors and responses in daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with stress, anger, and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Decisions about which tools to use are made together and reviewed over time.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is harder to schedule. It can also let people focus on concrete skills and exercises they can practice at home while keeping sessions goal-oriented.
