Shantizia Figgs, LCSW

Shantizia Figgs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate common life stresses. She focuses on parenting challenges, mood shifts like depression and anxiety, relationship and communication problems, and grief. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and adjusting to life changes.

Shantizia uses practical, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to create clear steps forward.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with short-term strategies and skills people can use between meetings. She aims to make conversations feel focused and useful rather than vague or theoretical.

Shantizia has three years of clinical experience as an LCSW. She works with adults and young adults on issues like blended family challenges, communication problems, finding life purpose, and women’s concerns. She provides support for mood disorders and self-love work as well.

Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Shantizia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or low mood, then practices new ways of responding. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns because it focuses on practical exercises and behavior change.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and to build confidence for taking the next steps. That style is useful for career shifts, life-purpose questions, and when someone feels stuck about making changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. The plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are good for quick check-ins, brief coaching moments, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work focused on practical steps and coping skills.
