About Sarita
Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist who emphasizes practical, solution-focused work in therapy. She uses clear, goal-oriented conversations to help people manage stress, relationships, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to leave clients with usable strategies to try between visits.
Dr. Schapiro brings a background in cognitive and client-centered approaches to help people reframe problems into realistic goals. She guides conversations toward small, manageable steps and teaches skills for coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning rather than on abstract theory.
Her work includes attention to codependency and communication problems, as well as issues such as parenting stress, career challenges, and changes after separation or loss. She also helps people dealing with trauma and addictions by identifying concrete behavioral changes and thought patterns to address.
With three years of experience as a practicing psychologist in Florida, Dr. Schapiro draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to structure sessions. She explains techniques plainly and practices collaborative goal-setting so each person knows what to try between appointments.
People who meet with her can expect a straightforward approach that emphasizes problem solving, skill building, and practical coping tools. She works in both English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel useful from the first meeting.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's concerns and supports their own solutions, which helps when someone needs a sounding board for relationship or parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns tied to codependency and anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific goals and steps to reach them. It works well for people wanting quick, concrete strategies to manage stress, sleep problems, or parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then pick or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, saving travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm which options are available before booking. The emphasis is on finding workable ways to practice skills between sessions and to apply tools to everyday situations.
