About Shirley
Shirley St Juste is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 19 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make the first step into therapy easier for people who are feeling unsure.
Shirley creates a calm, nonjudgmental setting where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps you can use between meetings, like strategies for managing worry, improving focus, or handling a major life change. She combines listening with clear, actionable suggestions aimed at day-to-day relief.
Her background includes nearly two decades of professional practice in Florida, supporting people with concentration and memory concerns alongside mood and stress issues. She also brings experience addressing attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, communication problems, and immigration-related stress. That range helps her tailor conversations to each person’s situation.
Shirley emphasizes coaching-style support when clients want goal-oriented work, such as improving executive functioning or workplace coping. At the same time she offers space for processing grief, guilt, or family-of-origin questions. The approach shifts based on what the person says they need.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Shirley is not taking international clients. To get started, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address common concerns like anxiety, stress, and concentration problems. One approach emphasizes practical skills and problem-solving to reduce everyday worry and improve focus; sessions teach step-by-step techniques that can be tried between meetings. Another approach centers on goal-focused coaching methods to strengthen executive functioning and workplace coping, helping people set clear targets and build routines to reach them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one path from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, avoid commute time, and keep appointments during life transitions. It also lets people choose whether they want shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits daily life.
