About Shaiuana

Shaiuana Okoro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related struggles. She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions toward practical change. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Clients can expect a space where their thoughts and feelings are heard without judgment. Shaiuana emphasizes collaboration and works with people to set clear, realistic goals. She also supports concerns related to grief, intimacy, self-esteem, mood disorders, and coping with life changes.

Her practice includes attention to issues often linked with isolation and loneliness, along with communication problems, abandonment, and social anxiety. She also addresses substance use and related behaviors such as drug and alcohol addiction. Sessions may touch on trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and self-harm when those topics are part of a person's experience.

Shaiuana uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are used to build coping skills, clarify values, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

With five years of experience as an LPC, she aims to help people find steady, usable tools for everyday life. The practice works in English and is based in Texas.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values, which can reduce the sense of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective, creating space for honest conversation and steady support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in when schedule demands are high. Different approaches can be used effectively in remote sessions, and the therapist will adapt exercises and tools so they work in your day-to-day routine.
