Dr. Sarita Schapiro

Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist who offers straightforward, practical therapy. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, depression, and related concerns. Her approach centers on identifying clear goals and finding workable steps to improve daily life.

Dr. Schapiro uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors. Solution-focused ideas guide sessions toward short-term, achievable goals that can make a quick difference.

In sessions she aims to help people leave with a concrete strategy to try before the next meeting. That might include new ways to handle conflict, steps to improve sleep or eating routines, or a plan to reduce anxiety and manage cravings. She emphasizes practical skills like problem solving, parent guidance, and coping plans for life changes.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses relationship topics such as communication, commitment, divorce and blended family stressors. The focus is on making steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

People who come for therapy can expect a collaborative process. Sessions aim to build resilience and offer tools that fit daily life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach tend to center on understanding current struggles and reflecting back options so the client feels heard and clearer about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems in place and then practice different responses. In online work this often means setting small exercises to try between appointments, such as mood tracking, thought records, or behavior experiments.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims at short-term, goal-driven steps. Sessions focus on what will be different when things are better and on concrete actions the client can take that week.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change over time as needs shift.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, make it easier to check in during a work break, or allow for shorter follow-up conversations when needed. Ask about current session options and scheduling to see what will work best.
