About Sarita
Dr. Sarita Schapiro is a Florida psychologist who focuses on practical, real-world help for parenting and relationship stress. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel useful from the start.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and doable strategies that parents can try between appointments. She uses a client-centered style to listen and understand each person's priorities. From there she often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors.
Background and approach
Solution-focused methods help turn problems into small, achievable steps so progress is visible quickly. Dr. Schapiro has three years of documented experience as a practicing psychologist.
Her background includes work across clinical settings, which influences a straightforward approach to common family and life issues. She lists parenting, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related concerns among her focus areas. Typical sessions concentrate on problem solving, parent guidance, and building routines that improve sleeping, eating, and daily coping.
She also addresses communication problems, blended family issues, codependency, and caregiver stress when those topics come up. Sessions aim to leave people with practical actions to try before the next meeting. People who prefer Spanish are able to speak in that language.
Therapy is offered through a subscription model and can be scheduled in several online formats. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and picking a time to meet.

Approaches Sarita lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on what matters most to the person sitting across from the therapist. The therapist listens with attention and reflects back concerns so goals feel personally meaningful and clear. This approach helps when parenting decisions or relationship issues feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and for managing stress related to parenting.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small changes that make a big difference. Sessions identify specific, realistic steps to move forward and measure progress in short timeframes. This can be helpful when someone wants concrete guidance and quick wins for family or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs to decide which methods to use. Clients help shape the plan and adjust it as they notice what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and messaging allow faster questions, brief updates, and ongoing coaching between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule.
