Hello! My name is Shakiya Harrison. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Virginia State University and my Masters degree in Social Work from Norfolk State University. I have been a Social Worker for more than 7 years and have vast experience working with individuals from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been with individuals who are struggling with life sustaining medical conditions, end of life challenges, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, PTSD and substance abuse. As a clinician, I am always open-minded, willing to learn and enjoys learning about each of my clients psychosocial needs and how I can assist them in achieving their goals as well as improving themselves. The therapeutic interventions that I primarily use includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, task centered practices and the crisis intervention model. I look forward to empowering my clients and uplifting them throughout their therapeutic process. I am available for chat, email, phone and virtual sessions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
