Getting to know Jarvis Shanklin

Hi there, I'm Jarvis! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor (BACS) in Louisiana. I specialize in grief, anxiety, stress, and depression. My therapy approach is warm, authentic, and transparent, creating a safe space for exploring thoughts and feelings. I believe in every individual's capacity to grow and heal. My approach I use an integrative approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thoughts, mindfulness practices for present-moment awareness, strength-based methods to empower clients, and solution-focused techniques to identify achievable goals. My focus I typically work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, race-based stress, college concerns, veterans' issues, and life transition stress. I am passionate about supporting minorities and other marginalized communities, and I strongly believe in the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and open, providing a safe space for clients. Clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment, often finding sessions insightful and empowering. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist to help others handle challenges and find their inner strength. Mental health is crucial to overall well-being. I value human connection and believe in each person's potential for growth and healing. My goals for you In collaboration with clients, I approach goal setting by jointly identifying desired outcomes and examining strengths and challenges while ensuring that goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). I provide active listening and support throughout the therapeutic process, empowering clients to progress towards meaningful change.
