About Shanita Burgess
Her work focuses on helping people understand the thought patterns that can leave them feeling fatigued and defeated, then learning practical ways to shift those patterns so they can reconnect with themselves and what matters most. Shanita offers therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout, with an emphasis on identifying harmful thoughts, exploring where they come from, and reframing them so stress feels more manageable instead of constant and depleting.

Practical Approaches for Real Life - Online
Shanita Burgess integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful for stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, and the emotional fallout that comes with feeling overwhelmed. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and learning ways to challenge and replace them, which can support clearer decision-making and steadier coping during high-pressure seasons.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill-building for handling intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be a fit for clients who feel emotionally flooded, stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, or worn down by conflict and self-criticism. Mindfulness Therapy can also help clients practice staying grounded in the present moment, which can reduce the feeling of being constantly pulled into worries, regrets, or mental overload.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shanita works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions to match what they need most right now.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to get support consistently, even with a busy schedule, changing energy levels, or limited time between responsibilities.
