About Shanequa
Shanequa Palmer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions, and ADHD. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Shanequa uses straightforward conversation to help people identify patterns that continue from earlier family life into adulthood. Sessions tend to look at what is happening now, how past roles and expectations influence choices, and what small changes might reduce conflict or anxiety. She adapts the discussion to each person's concerns and goals.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's own perspective and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work to help people find reasons to try new behaviors and commitments.
Shanequa emphasizes practical steps someone can take between sessions. That might include simple behavior experiments, communication practice, or short exercises to notice unhelpful thinking. The focus is on clear, manageable next steps rather than long theoretical talks.
People who are worried that early family roles still shape their choices may find the sessions relevant. She works in English and practices within South Carolina. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client's perspective and making decisions that match their priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the pace and focus of conversations, which can help when addressing patterns from family of origin or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete ways to notice and test thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions a therapist and client can review specific examples, try behavioral experiments, and plan short practice tasks between meetings to address anxiety, mood, or communication problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and boosts willingness to try new actions. Remotely, this can be used in short focused conversations to build motivation for changes in habits, parenting approaches, or coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be squeezed between commitments. Ask about session length and how appointments are scheduled when you complete the matching questionnaire.
