Background and approach

Sessions often center on clear problem-solving, skill building, and looking at what is getting in the way of change. She helps clients set small, doable goals and tracks progress together. Her approach draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's experience and goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Motivational interviewing is applied when someone needs support finding motivation or resolving mixed feelings about change. Shanequa has four years of counseling experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential.

She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Her focus list includes grief, trauma and abuse, family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She aims to make starting therapy less intimidating by keeping the first steps clear.

Conversations are paced to match each person, and the plan is adjusted as needs shift. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit.

How Shanequa Uses Practical Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide the pace and direction of change. It is helpful when someone needs empathy and a clearer sense of their own priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Shanequa uses CBT techniques to spot patterns that cause distress and to practice new ways of thinking and acting. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and trouble managing impulses.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It involves gentle, guided conversation to explore mixed feelings and strengthen motivation to try something different.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shanequa will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These options allow people to connect from home or work and fit sessions into busy schedules. The variety of formats also helps when someone prefers shorter check-ins or ongoing text support instead of regular video meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
