About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, encouraging presence and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations clear and useful for everyday life. She works from an integrative approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical skills, steady support, and real-world strategies clients can try between meetings. The goal is to build on each person's strengths and values rather than start over. Many people seek her help for grief, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting strains, and challenges around intimacy or career change.
She also addresses compassion fatigue and issues important to LGBT community members. Conversations are paced to match the client's comfort and readiness. Dr.
Blankenship encourages a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps toward the client's goals. Progress is measured in practical changes such as better coping, improved daily routines, and clearer communication.
Her practice offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Sessions aim to be flexible and focused, with tools and exercises tailored to each person's situation. She invites prospective clients to begin with a short matching questionnaire to plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and challenges like ADHD by focusing on values and doable behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and clarity; this style helps people feel heard and make decisions at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Blankenship will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then try approaches that fit those preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, flexible check-ins, and continuing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, and family routines.
