About Shanequa
Shanequa Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also addresses parenting, career decisions, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges connected to ADHD and life transitions.
Shanequa uses clear conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She draws from client-centered methods to keep the focus on what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
In practice she pays attention to backgrounds like adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues. She also works with topics such as body image, fertility concerns, communication problems, and impulsivity. These are handled as real-life problems with straightforward steps to try between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect to talk through current struggles, set manageable goals, and practice skills that fit their daily life. The therapist explains tools plainly and checks in about how things are working.
People in their late teens and twenties often reach out about leaving home, new jobs, relationship starts and ends, identity questions, and feeling behind peers. Shanequa is familiar with those pressures and offers practical support for early adulthood challenges.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves listening closely and shaping the conversation around what the client brings up so they lead the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort through identity, relationships, or life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It gives simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing anger. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative talk-style that helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes by exploring motivation and small next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shanequa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and what to try first. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing sessions from more convenient locations. Phone sessions can be a faster check-in when scheduling is tight, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when preferred.
