About Sarita
Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY4914) with three years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationships, grief, depression, addiction, or big life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and helps clients who want concrete strategies rather than general talk.
She focuses on practical problem solving in sessions. That means identifying one or two issues to work on and turning them into clear, doable goals. She uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and solution-focused techniques to create short-term steps clients can try between appointments.
Sessions often include skills practice for managing anxiety, improving sleep and eating patterns, or handling parenting and career pressures. She also addresses relationship patterns like codependency, communication problems, commitment worries, and family-of-origin issues. The work can involve looking at thoughts and behaviors, trying new ways of responding, and measuring small improvements over time.
Dr. Schapiro helps people build tools for daily life. That may mean role-playing a difficult conversation, setting up step-by-step plans for change, or restructuring unhelpful thoughts. Her aim is that clients leave with something practical to use before the next session.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented sessions may find this approach useful. If you want to explore how to set boundaries, manage strong emotions, or cope with loss, she offers an option-oriented way of working that keeps the focus on next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship patterns, grief, or parenting stress and wants the therapist to follow their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and adds practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and for changing people-pleasing or codependent behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on identifying what gets better quickly. It helps when someone wants clear goals and short-term progress.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together try methods that fit. That collaborative decision-making aims to match strategies to what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work in sessions.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistency while they practice new skills between appointments.
