Shirley St Juste, LMHC

Shirley St Juste is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 19 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also offers coaching for executive and professional concerns and support for attention and concentration challenges.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to clarify goals and build practical steps for daily life. Shirley works with clients on coping strategies, memory and focus concerns, and ways to handle stressful transitions.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in varied settings in Florida. That experience informs a practical approach to symptom management and goal setting. She brings attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term habits that support wellbeing.

Shirley speaks English and Haitian Creole, which can help bilingual clients communicate comfortably. She reminds people that starting therapy is a courageous step and supports each person at their own pace. For those considering care, she encourages completing the brief matching questionnaire to begin the process.

When scheduling, prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Shirley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical tools and goal setting. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and routine-building to reduce stress and manage anxiety. These techniques help people regain a sense of control during difficult moments.

Another useful method emphasizes coaching-style support for professional and executive concerns. This approach breaks larger goals into small, manageable steps and builds strategies for concentration, memory, and work performance. It can help people facing career transitions or workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shirley will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. The plan evolves based on what proves most helpful in real life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care across weeks. It can also allow shorter check-ins on a workday or reduce travel time, helping therapy become a regular part of everyday life.
