Hello! My name is Aqsa Shaukat and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. My approach to therapy includes working with each client based on their unique mental health needs. My therapeutic philosophy includes taking small steps towards change by teaching clients skills and strategies to help improve and maintain mental health. I understand that life can sometimes be hard to deal with and support can make the journey easier.
My approach
Each individual and their needs are different. The therapeutic approach i utilize will depend on what they are coming into therapy for. I typically utilize cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, person-centered and emotion focused techniques.
My focus
I have experience working with all populations and different settings. I honor the societal challenges of the LGBTQ+ community and am ready to help navigate through the unique difficulties that this population encounters.
My communication style
I provide a safe, judgment-free zone and welcoming environment for all clients. I am open to feedback and work together with the client to establish and work on goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I enjoy helping people and making them feel better during a challenging time. Seeing positive results from their treatment and helping alleviate their pain can feel rewarding and help them feel like a valuable member of the workforce. Caring for others also improves overall job satisfaction.
My goals for you
During our initial sessions, we will work on establishing rapport then we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
My first session with you
The client should expect to know me and be assessed. Clients can expect me to ask about the specific problem that inspired them to seek therapy, what they hope to achieve over the course of treatment, a brief sketch of their life story, and any experience they have had with therapy in the past.
