About Shaakira Gillette
Her work draws from mindfulness practices, cognitive approaches, hypnotherapy, and psychodynamic concepts such as shadow work. These methods are combined with psychoeducation and introspective exercises to encourage greater self-awareness and practical change. Shaakira also incorporates lifestyle coaching around diet, daily routines, and energy awareness to support broader wellbeing goals.
The initial assessment explores behavioral health history, current challenges, and specific wellness objectives so treatment can be tailored to the individual. She uses meditation and hypnotherapy to access subconscious material, and applies mindfulness and cognitive techniques to strengthen attention, reduce reactivity, and build coping skills. Shaakira frames healing as a multi-layered journey - addressing mental, physical, and energetic dimensions - and structures sessions to foster reflection, clarity, and sustained progress. Services are provided in English and are rooted in an approach that honors both practical strategies and deeper personal insight.

Integrating Mindfulness, CBT, and Hypnotherapy Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is a practical, skills-based approach that supports work on anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching new coping strategies and problem-solving tools. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious material and support shifts in habit, self-image, and emotional responses - it can be useful for issues like addictive behaviors and entrenched patterns. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness through breath work, meditation, and body-based noticing; it aims to reduce reactivity and enhance concentration, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Shaakira works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then combines methods in a way that fits the individual - adapting techniques as progress unfolds. The result is a tailored plan that balances practical tools with deeper exploration.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can engage from home or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals without the need to travel.
