About Shaterrika

Shaterrika Williams is an LPC based in Louisiana with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship and family challenges as well as struggles with self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on their strengths to support meaningful change rather than imposing predetermined solutions. Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit into daily life.

In addition to core concerns like relationship and family issues, Shaterrika also works with clients who name ADHD among their areas of focus and attends to related topics such as chronic pain and illness, codependency, fertility concerns, multicultural issues, pregnancy and childbirth, and self-harm.

She blends client-centered principles with evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to tailor care to individual needs. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, strengths-focused environment that aims to empower them to pursue clearer goals and improved functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and valuing the client's perspective, helping people clarify their goals and use their own strengths to move forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for managing mood, motivation, and everyday challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is worked out together. The therapist collaborates with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and allow for consistent contact when in-person options are limited. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication styles, enabling licensed professionals to provide ongoing support in ways that match a client's routine and comfort level.
