About Shakina
Shakina Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with relationships, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Shakina centers sessions on listening closely and responding with sensitivity and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means practical steps and techniques geared to real-life challenges, not only talk about problems.
In sessions she helps people sort through conflict, rebuild confidence, and develop ways to cope after difficult experiences. She works at a calm pace so clients can try tools between meetings and report back on what helps. The approach is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Shakina emphasizes clear, direct communication and steady support during transitions. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them over time. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aimed at helping clients move forward in daily life.
If you are a parent dealing with family stress or someone navigating a relationship or life shift, Shakina offers practical help and steady guidance to work through those issues.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Shakina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people work through relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma. One common approach focuses on building skills for better communication and problem solving in relationships, teaching concrete ways to change interactions and reduce hurt. Another approach emphasizes coping strategies for managing stress and rebuilding self-esteem after difficult experiences, using step-by-step practices that can be tried between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted based on what is helping.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people use shorter or more frequent appointments to manage a hectic schedule, or avoid being on camera when a phone check-in is enough. Ask about current session formats so you can pick what works best for your routine.
