About Shanequa

Shanequa Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and career concerns. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone nervous about starting therapy.

Shanequa uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. She adapts sessions and any treatment plan to fit individual needs rather than following one fixed method. Her style centers on listening without judgment and helping clients find concrete ways to move forward.

Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and find sources of motivation when change feels hard. Sessions often include simple exercises or small experiments to practice between meetings.

Shanequa has four years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential. She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She does not currently accept international clients.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including trauma and grief, parenting and adoption-related issues, body image, caregiver stress, ADHD, intimacy-related problems, and coping with life changes. She supports work on communication, commitment concerns, and navigating separation or blended family challenges.

How Shanequa Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Shanequa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s experience and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. CBT often includes short exercises or experiments to try between sessions and can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with focus or impulsivity.

Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when clients want help finding reasons to change. This method supports motivation by clarifying values and small next steps rather than pushing a single plan.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shanequa will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust as needed so the plan fits their needs and preferences.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so sessions better match work or family schedules.
