About Shaketha
Dr. Shaketha Blankenship is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions and aims to build trust and encouragement from the first meeting.
Many people come to her for help managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or parenting concerns. She uses several practical therapy methods and adapts them to each person's situation. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps that lead to better day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Her style is supportive and strengths-based, with attention to what a person already does well. Common topics she addresses include ADHD symptoms, relationship and intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and trauma or abuse. She also works with people navigating career changes and identity concerns related to LGBT issues.
The focus is on helping clients move toward goals they set for themselves. In sessions she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches. That means conversations may include values clarification, present-moment awareness, and concrete strategies for solving immediate problems.
Dr. Blankenship encourages practical homework and real-world practice between meetings. Her approach is collaborative.
She helps clients choose which tools fit their life and priorities. The aim is steady progress, not sudden fixes, with techniques adjusted as needs change.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, offering empathy and nonjudgmental feedback that helps someone find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Dr. Blankenship works with clients to identify goals, try methods, and adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to tailor sessions to parenting needs, relationship concerns, or mood symptoms.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief support, tracking progress, or maintaining frequent contact between longer sessions.
