About Shanequa

Shanequa Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on concrete steps you can take now.

She uses a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations and goals are shaped to fit each person's situation. Shanequa pays attention to motivation, confidence, and practical coping skills as part of planning sessions.

Shanequa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.

Her work includes a wide range of concerns from grief and parenting to body image, adoption and foster care matters, and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, commitment worries, impulsivity, and co-morbid conditions.

Based in South Carolina, Shanequa has four years of clinical experience. She encourages small steps and practical tools that fit into everyday life. If you want straightforward help with mood, relationships, or recovery from difficult experiences, she offers clear conversation and focused strategies.

How Shanequa’s approaches work in online therapy

Shanequa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening environment where people feel understood and respected; this approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel uncertain about change and need help finding internal reasons to try new steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shanequa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt her methods as needed. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical progress rather than one fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose a quieter time, avoid being on camera when useful, or use fewer resources like bandwidth when needed. Talk with her about which setup will work best for your routine and goals before you schedule.
