About Sarita

Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4914) with three years of experience. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on common life struggles such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, addictions, and anger.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify the problems that bring people in. Sessions aim to reframe issues into realistic, workable goals. Clients leave sessions with practical strategies to try between visits.

Dr. Schapiro draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy when working with people. That looks like listening for what matters most, testing small changes, and building step-by-step problem-solving skills. She emphasizes concrete skills such as cognitive restructuring and behavior changes rather than abstract theory.

Her practice pays attention to relationship patterns and family dynamics. She helps with parenting strain, blended family issues, family of origin problems, communication problems, and commitment or control concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life-change stressors.

People looking for help with anger can expect practical techniques to reduce reactivity and improve communication. For those with trauma, abandonment concerns, or caregiver stress, sessions aim to make day-to-day management easier. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize clear conversation, checking understanding, and prioritizing the client's concerns so sessions feel focused and practical.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small experiments between sessions. Online CBT can include guided exercises, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral tasks that a person can try between appointments to see what helps.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes and builds on whatever is already working. In virtual sessions this often means setting one or two clear goals and tracking simple progress each week.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust that plan over time. Clients are involved in choosing techniques and in reviewing results from week to week.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the session length and format when scheduling to make sure it fits daily life.
