About Shikeena
Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a licensed professional counselor who helps people work through anxiety, stress, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She focuses on LGBTQ+ experiences and supports clients as they sort out identity, relationships, and life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She has four years of clinical experience working with adults from varied backgrounds. That experience includes supporting people with ADHD, social anxiety, and challenges tied to attachment or abandonment.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as body image, communication problems, and the emotional effects of divorce and blended-family stress. Sessions are collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
Therapy often includes learning new ways to manage stress, improve communication, and build confidence. The pace and focus are set to match each person's needs. Her background emphasizes culturally responsive care for LGBTQ+ clients.
She helps people explore gender dysphoria and identity questions alongside everyday concerns like work stress and isolation. The aim is to strengthen coping skills and increase emotional insight. Shikeena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.
That means drawing on methods shown to help with mood, anxiety, and attention differences. She adapts those methods to each person's situation, keeping sessions practical and goal-oriented.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Shikeena draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are aimed at reducing anxiety and improving mood. One common method focuses on teaching practical coping skills for stress and worry, such as breathing and behavioral strategies that help people manage day-to-day anxiety symptoms. Another approach centers on improving communication and interpersonal understanding to reduce conflict and increase emotional connection.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, life context, and comfort level. Sessions begin with assessment and discussion, and the plan is adjusted over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates, ask quick questions, or work through thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
