Shenelle Hanley, LPC

Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Psychology and completed additional clinical mental health counseling coursework. Shenelle has provided care to teenagers and adults across a range of settings and focuses on helping people navigate difficult life moments.

She commonly helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports those dealing with anger, impulse control, addictions, sleep problems, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and domestic violence are included among the concerns she addresses.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions emphasize a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Shenelle works to build practical skills for coping and to strengthen self-esteem and confidence.

In sessions she often focuses on clear, concrete goals and small steps toward change. That can mean identifying patterns that maintain anxiety or experimenting with new ways to respond to anger and impulses. Motivational Interviewing supports exploring readiness for change when people feel stuck.

Shenelle also attends to multicultural concerns and life purpose as part of broader work on identity and values. She invites clients to set the pace and priorities. The path forward is collaborative and shaped by each person’s needs.

People seeking help are encouraged to choose a Start Therapy option, complete the brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Shenelle’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their priorities, offering a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and understood. This approach helps people clarify what matters and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It focuses on practical skills - like changing unhelpful thinking patterns or testing new behaviors - to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses guided conversation to explore readiness and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving self-care.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. In practice, online work still focuses on skill building, problem solving, and helping people move toward clearer goals.
