About Shameka

Shameka Broussard is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to create clear steps people can try between sessions. Shameka works from Texas and provides care in English.

With three years as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), she focuses on common concerns such as depression, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses issues like ADHD, trauma and abuse, anger, and career stress. Her profile notes attention to family and parenting matters among other areas of focus. In sessions she aims to be supportive and engaging, meeting people where they are.

She helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then experiments with small changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity when stress is high. Solution-focused work narrows in on concrete goals and practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts that contribute to difficult feelings and replace them with more helpful options. These methods are suited to everyday parenting struggles, relationship concerns, and mood challenges. Shameka also names additional focus areas including caregiver stress, communication problems, blended family issues, and life-purpose questions.

She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based options so people can choose what fits their lives. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Shameka commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stressful parenting moments. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during difficult moments. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls and phone sessions let people have a conversation in real time, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to keep working on skills outside of sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

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.
