Shaneque Hawkins, LPC

Shaneque Hawkins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with four years of clinical experience based in Virginia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, sleeping problems, career stress, and life changes. She also lists focused work with LGBT issues and a range of related concerns including panic attacks and post-traumatic stress.

Shaneque uses straightforward conversation and active listening to learn what matters to each person. She treats therapy as a partnership and encourages clients to reflect on what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and small experiments people can try between appointments.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques and Solution-Focused methods are used to notice patterns and set clear, short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh options and find motivation for change.

Shaneque describes her work with people facing grief, trauma, and life transitions in plain terms. She will talk through how upsetting experiences and daily stress affect mood, sleep, and relationships. For young adults, common topics include starting careers, shifting relationships, and feeling uncertain about next steps.

Sessions are presented in a practical, down-to-earth way with clear steps and check-ins. Shaneque asks about strengths and obstacles, then helps people try different strategies and track what feels useful. People who want direct feedback and practical tools may find this style helpful.
