Shaiuana Okoro, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Shaiuana

Shaiuana Okoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her tone is straightforward and she emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about hard things.

In sessions she listens first, then helps clients identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques to address patterns that cause pain. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are also available when helpful. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns, including grief, LGBTQ matters, intimacy issues, eating concerns, and coping with life changes.

She also supports people facing anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood disorders. Other focus areas include communication problems, abandonment, and substance use challenges. Shaiuana aims to make therapy a collaborative process.

She helps clients set realistic goals and practices skills together in session. That approach lets clients try new ways of responding to stress and relationships and then discuss what worked and what didn’t. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with mood, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own goals guide the work.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the person’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these tools to teach techniques, review progress, and offer support in a flexible, ongoing way.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
