About Sarita

Dr. Sarita Schapiro uses a practical, client-centered approach to help families and individuals manage stress and relationship challenges. She is identified as FL Psychologist PY4914 and speaks English and Spanish.

Dr. Schapiro focuses on clear goals and simple strategies that people can try between sessions. She writes and talks in plain terms to make therapy feel doable for busy parents.

Her work emphasizes solutions and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals that move families forward. Dr. Schapiro brings three years of documented experience in the context supplied here and practices in Florida.

She focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life changes.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

In therapy, Dr. Schapiro focuses on practical steps, problem solving, and building everyday skills. The aim is steady progress through small, manageable changes rather than vague promises or long lists of jargon.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Dr. Schapiro uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where a person or partner can talk through what matters most. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and letting the client set the pace and priorities.

She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that make stress, anxiety, or family conflicts worse. CBT provides clear tools and small exercises to try between sessions and can help with sleep, mood, and daily routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used to turn problems into short-term, achievable goals. This method zeroes in on practical steps and early wins that help families feel less stuck and more capable of making changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful, adjust methods based on a family's needs and preferences, and check in as work progresses so plans stay realistic and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. The variety of formats also allows families to pick what feels most comfortable for talking through sensitive topics and practicing new skills.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
