About Sarita

Dr. Sarita Schapiro uses a client-centered style that helps people find practical ways forward. She emphasizes clear goals and hands-on strategies so sessions feel useful from the start. Dr. Sarita is identified as a Florida psychologist and works in English and Spanish.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused planning. That means she listens first, helps reframe problems, and then tries small, concrete steps clients can try between sessions. The focus is on real-world skills such as problem solving, behavior changes, and coping strategies for stress and anxiety.

She supports people facing relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. Parenting challenges, family conflicts, and career or life transitions are also common topics. She also addresses issues like ADHD, eating and sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.

Dr. Sarita has three years of experience in her current practice setting and holds the credential FL Psychologist PY4914, listed here as FL Psychologist. Her background includes work in Florida settings with varied populations and in both English and Spanish. She frames sessions so clients leave with a clear action to try before the next visit.

People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools may find her style fits well. If you are seeking help with stress, relationships, family problems, or related concerns, she invites a collaborative, stepwise approach to make change feel manageable.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience before choosing a path forward. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a working partnership that guides later work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together, then tries small practice steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating challenges, and coping with stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on what you want to achieve and breaks that goal into doable steps. It is practical for relationship issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions where concrete change is the priority.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress or new issues arise.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-in sessions when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue work between in-person visits and try tools in real-world settings before reporting back. Confirm the session formats offered by the therapist when you book so you know what options are available. Online work aims to bring practical, goal-oriented help into everyday routines without changing the focus on skills and problem solving.
