About Shanequa

Shanequa Palmer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, motivation, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she creates a respectful and compassionate space where clients' concerns about depression, trauma, grief, intimacy, parenting, career transitions, ADHD, and many other life challenges can be addressed. Her approach centers on working collaboratively to shape conversations and a treatment plan that reflect each person's unique needs.

Shanequa draws from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building practical strategies for change. She emphasizes sensitivity, individualized care, and encouragement for those taking the difficult first steps toward therapy.

Shanequa aims to meet clients where they are and to tailor the pace and focus of sessions so progress feels manageable. She welcomes discussions about a wide range of concerns including family and relationship dynamics, identity and LGBT issues, caregiver stress, body image, and recovery from loss or trauma.

Approach-driven online therapy tailored to you



Shanequa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy is also central to her work, focusing on empathic listening and supporting clients to explore their values and goals at their own pace. Motivational interviewing helps when ambivalence is present, by guiding people to clarify their motivations and build momentum toward change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Shanequa will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the plan matches progress and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from wherever a client is located within the therapist's service area and to choose the format that best supports consistent engagement and practical follow-through.
