About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She has a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and a long history working with adults and younger clients across a range of concerns. Her practice includes helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and related issues.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use day to day. Conversations aim to identify what matters to the client and small changes that reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.
Shaketha helps people process loss, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and work-related stress. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, depression, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. She works with LGBT clients and addresses the specific stressors they may face.
Her sessions combine listening with actionable tools - brief experiments, mindfulness practice, values clarification, and focused problem solving. The approach is collaborative: goals are set together and revisited as progress is made.
People who prefer clear, practical guidance and steady feedback may find this approach useful. The therapist asks clients to try strategies between sessions and brings results back to the conversation for refinement.
How sessions work
How ACT, mindfulness, and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and notice unhelpful reactions. In practice this means learning small experiments to test new ways of responding to anger and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to bodily cues and thoughts so strong feelings are noticed earlier and handled with less automatic reaction. Client-Centered Therapy provides a space where the person leads the topics and the therapist follows, helping clients find their own solutions and make decisions about change.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative planning is intended to match methods to the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when life gets hectic. Some clients find video helpful for exercises and body awareness, while others prefer shorter or audio-only meetings for quick problem solving. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what format best supports the work.
