Shantizia Figgs, LCSW

Shantizia Figgs, LCSW, helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people looking for practical change.

She uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around each person. Conversations aim to identify small, doable steps that lead to clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Sessions focus on building communication skills, managing mood, and strengthening self-worth.

Figgs worked and trained in Florida and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She has three years of experience noted for work with individuals and young adults on concerns like blended family issues, communication problems, self-love, and women’s issues.

Her sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress in practical ways. People who prefer a focused approach that moves toward specific life changes may find this style helpful.

If someone is new to therapy, Figgs encourages using a short questionnaire to match goals to a plan. She invites readers to consider what they want to change, then work together to create manageable steps toward that outcome.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small changes that change how people feel and act.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be helpful when someone feels stuck about parenting choices, career moves, or improving relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds on it. Sessions emphasize practical steps and short-term goals, which can make progress feel visible quickly.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress is tracked.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be arranged to match daily routines and responsibilities.
