About Sarita

Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4914) with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addiction, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and reflect her focus on practical problem solving.

She uses a direct, solution-minded style to turn problems into clear goals. Sessions often focus on skills you can try between meetings. Cognitive techniques are used to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centered conversations make room for the issues you bring up and the goals you set.

Her work includes support for parenting concerns, blended family issues, caregiving stress, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping after trauma or loss. Dr. Schapiro lists ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress among her areas of focus.

In practice she aims for practical exercises, coaching on life skills, and cognitive restructuring where helpful. She frames sessions around achievable steps and behavioral strategies. This approach is intended to give clear ideas to try between appointments.

People can expect sessions that move from defining the immediate problem to testing small changes. The emphasis is on workable strategies for everyday life and clearer ways to handle relationship and parenting strain. If you prefer Spanish, she offers work in that language as well.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people clarify their goals and priorities. This is useful for sorting out relationship strain and parenting worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to small, achievable goals. Sessions identify what is already working and build on those strengths with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your situation and preferences, and together you can pick which methods to emphasize. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs and goals shift.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue therapy when life changes make in-person visits harder. Many licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency and apply strategies in everyday life.
