About Shanique
Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with clients dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and concerns around impulsivity and sexual behavior. Her approach is respectful and compassionate.
She emphasizes helping people take practical steps toward feeling better. Shanique keeps conversations direct and tailored. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as grounding techniques for panic and strategies to challenge anxious thoughts. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing.
These approaches are used in straightforward ways - for example, learning new coping skills, practicing attention and breathing exercises, and finding motivation to change habits. Shanique brings five years of professional experience to her practice in New Jersey. She adapts her style to each person’s needs and background rather than following a single formula.
That means the plan you make together is focused on the problems you name and the goals you want to reach. People who come to her often want relief from panic attacks, help managing mood swings, tools for grief or life changes, or support with career and parenting stress.
Shanique aims to make progress feel manageable by breaking bigger problems into small steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the client leads the conversation and goals are set together. This helps when stress, anxiety, or grief make it hard to know what to tackle first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and panic. It is useful for mood challenges, panic attacks, and unhelpful thinking that keeps problems stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to pick or combine techniques based on your needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions may shift over time as skills build and priorities change, and Shanique will check in regularly to see what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, send short updates, or have a brief check-in without a full appointment. These options make it easier to keep progress steady for busy lives.
