About Shanequa
Shanequa Palmer, LPC, focuses on helping people handle stress and anxiety and build confidence. She works with adults who are struggling with mood, motivation, or relationship concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear. Shanequa uses common-sense conversation to learn what matters to each person. She listens closely and then suggests small, practical changes to try between sessions.
That might include shifting unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, or setting simple goals that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses anger, low self-esteem, and grief. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career stress, and life transitions. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to ADHD.
Shanequa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding internal motivation and making lasting changes. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and practices in South Carolina.
Sessions happen through several online formats to fit different needs. Shanequa aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer routines and calmer days.
How Shanequa Uses Practical Approaches Online
Shanequa often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens without judgment and follows each person’s priorities. That approach helps people feel respected and understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit when someone needs help finding reasons to change. She uses open questions and collaborative planning to build motivation rather than pushing for quick fixes. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a team effort based on the person's goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or during a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
