About Shanta

Dr. Shanta Jerideau is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience focused on common life pressures.

Parents and individuals often find her approach direct and respectful. She aims to build a working relationship that meets a person where they are. Dr.

Jerideau works with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses relationship questions, intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, family matters, parenting, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals.

Therapy conversations are tailored to each person’s situation instead of following a fixed script. Dr. Jerideau uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

She matches techniques to the problem at hand and adjusts plans as progress is made. To begin she encourages people to take one step at a time. That might mean a short intake, a goal-setting session, or trying a strategy together in real time.

The emphasis is on steady improvement that fits daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted as progress shows what helps most.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These options allow scheduling around school, work, and family needs and let people choose formats they find most comfortable. Online work also makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions with brief messages or written check-ins when useful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
