About Sarita
Dr. Schapiro emphasizes a client-centered way of working, listening first to what matters most and then shaping the conversation around those priorities. She blends approaches like cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to reframe problems and set clear, workable steps. Sessions often target coping skills, problem solving, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her background includes practice in a variety of settings and three years of experience listed in the profile context. She brings experience with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and parenting stress. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, communication problems, codependency, and family of origin issues.
In a typical session she helps clients translate a presenting issue into a short list of goals. Then they try small, concrete strategies between meetings and review what worked. The focus is on building resilience, improving sleep and eating routines when relevant, and reducing the impact of overwhelming emotions.
People who choose Dr. Schapiro can expect straightforward, goal-oriented sessions in which the therapist and client work together to find practical, realistic steps forward.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist helps people name what matters most and shapes sessions around those concerns, which can help with relationship stress, parenting pressure, or midlife changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and practical exercises, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on realistic, short-term goals and small changes that make a difference between sessions. This approach suits people who want concrete strategies and quick experiments to try in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and tailor the work accordingly. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum while working on coping skills, problem solving, and life transitions.
