About Siarra

Siarra Maketo is a Michigan-licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, substance-related concerns, relationship tensions, and other life challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she centers care on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's distinct needs and goals. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward greater well-being.

Siarra offers tailored guidance for a wide range of concerns from mood and grief to intimacy, career questions, and identity-related matters such as gender dysphoria. She blends practical strategies with a supportive stance so clients can build skills and make sustainable changes over time.

Online approaches grounded in practical skill-building



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a prominent part of her practice and focuses on recognizing and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. This method is useful for problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and patterns that maintain addictive behaviors. It emphasizes practical exercises and strategies clients can use between sessions.

She pairs structured skill-building with a supportive, collaborative stance so clients can apply new tools in everyday life. The therapist works together with each person to determine which approaches and techniques fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress and needs evolve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexible options to match different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from Michigan or internationally, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing connection during life transitions. Licensed professionals can guide a tailored course of remote work that balances concrete CBT techniques with compassionate support.
