01About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 25 years of experience in counseling. She draws on a long career supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life transitions.
She aims to build trust quickly and to offer steady, respectful guidance as people work toward clearer goals. She uses an integrative approach that brings together Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Solution-Focused techniques, and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills, moments of reflection, and steps clients can take between meetings. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. Blankenship helps people manage challenges such as parenting stress, relationship tension, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, and career questions.
She also supports people navigating ADHD and struggles with self-esteem. Her style emphasizes listening first, then offering tools that match each person’s situation. Sessions may include short problem-solving conversations, reflective exercises, and mindfulness-based practices to reduce reactivity.
Conversations aim to be direct but warm, with small, achievable steps that fit daily life. She encourages practical changes alongside new perspectives. Clients meet with a therapist who values empathy and clear communication.
People who prefer a steady, goal-oriented approach with space for personal values and mindful attention often find this style helpful. The practice works with adults in English and provides online session options.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and respect so clients can find their own solutions; it supports growth by creating a steady space to talk things through.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions begin with a conversation about what someone hopes to change and then adapt techniques over time to fit progress and preferences.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and messaging or chat is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
