About Shakina
Shakina Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Gordon works directly with people who are managing relationship strain or trying to rebuild trust after difficult events. She also helps individuals who are processing past abuse or trauma and people who want to strengthen self-worth and confidence. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change.
Her approach centers on clear, respectful dialogue. She adjusts session content and a treatment plan to address specific concerns. That can mean breaking problems into manageable steps, practicing new ways of relating, and building skills to handle stress and change.
Gordon aims to make early sessions straightforward. She helps clients set goals, identify what feels most urgent, and choose small actions to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change if something isn’t working.
Practical matters are part of the work. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the site.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Shakina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship strain and trauma. For relationship work she focuses on communication skills and behavioral changes that reduce conflict and rebuild trust. Those sessions often include practical exercises and role practice to try between meetings.For trauma and abuse concerns she uses approaches that help people process difficult memories and learn coping skills for intrusive thoughts and strong emotions. These methods emphasize pacing, grounding techniques, and building tolerance for distress so day-to-day functioning improves.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and help identify which techniques suit a person’s situation. That collaborative decision can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The site’s sign-up process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The therapist’s session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit meetings into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose a quieter option when they have limited bandwidth for longer visits.
