About Sarita
Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist who focuses on practical ways to help people manage stress and improve sleep and daily functioning. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on several therapy styles to help clients set clear, workable goals. Her approach is straightforward and oriented toward real-life change.
Dr. Schapiro uses conversations that target the problems people bring to therapy and then turns those concerns into manageable steps. She favors methods that teach skills for handling emotions, reducing anxious thinking, and changing unhelpful behaviors. Sessions aim to leave people with something to try between visits.
Her work includes support for relationship and family challenges, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and navigating life changes. Additional focuses include abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, blended family issues, and family of origin problems.
With three years of experience in her current practice setting, she emphasizes coaching and problem solving. Cognitive tools and client-centered conversation are used to reframe situations and build resilience. The plan in each session is practical and aimed at incremental progress.
People who choose her can expect calm, direct guidance and short-term strategies alongside longer-term skill building. To work together, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule sessions based on availability.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term, concrete goals and on what the client wants to see happen next. It is useful when someone wants clear steps and quick strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and may combine elements of more than one approach.
Many people find online sessions can fit more easily into busy days because they reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to schedule around school, work, or caregiving duties. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
