01About Shaterrika
Shaterrika Williams is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana with over 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing relationship strain, family stress, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life transitions. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and draws on that strength in each session.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She listens first and helps clients set clear goals. Sessions are aimed at building confidence, improving communication, and finding workable strategies for daily challenges.
Background and approach
Shaterrika uses approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and dialectical behavior strategies to shape the work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and learn skills for regulating emotions and handling conflict. She adapts tools to fit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
She also addresses concerns tied to chronic pain, illness, disability, fertility, pregnancy and childbirth, and codependency. Multicultural issues and veteran and armed forces topics are within her scope of focus as well. When needed, she supports people coping with self-harm thoughts by creating safety-focused steps and practical options for getting help.
The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Sessions combine listening, skill-building, and problem-solving so clients can make steady progress toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people identify their own strengths to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that improve mood and functioning over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they pick or combine methods so the plan fits the client's life and needs rather than forcing one technique on everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter reflections or ongoing contact between visits. These options help people fit care into busy days and varying schedules while using the approaches described above.
