About Shirley

Shirley St Juste is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of professional experience. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression while navigating life transitions and improving focus and concentration.

Background and approach

She also offers coaching support for executive and professional goals and addresses challenges related to ADHD as part of a broader practice. Shirley creates an atmosphere where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, aiming to build trust and practical strategies for daily life.

Her background includes attention to attachment dynamics, blended family and family-of-origin concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, and the emotional impact of immigration, loss, or separation. She also addresses struggles with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are available in English and Haitian Creole and are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shirley emphasizes collaborative work to identify what clients need and to develop steps toward improved functioning and clearer priorities.

She practices in Florida as FL LMHC MH13425.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Shirley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building and collaborative problem solving. One common approach she uses focuses on improving attention, organization, and coping skills to help with concentration challenges and ADHD-related difficulties; this typically involves structured strategies and practice to enhance daily functioning. Another core method centers on stress and mood management through techniques that teach emotion regulation, coping skills, and behavior changes that support reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Shirley works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions, then adapts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan aligns with each person’s needs and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexible ways to access care from home or work. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into hectic schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use shorter check-ins or messaging for ongoing support between longer sessions.
