Her background includes medical and clinical training reflected in her MD, LCPC, and LCMHC credentials, and she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person's situation. Shawntay emphasizes cultural responsiveness and pays attention to how identity and life context shape emotional experience.
Her practice focuses on creating a warm, affirming environment where clients can examine painful memories, build coping skills, and work toward clearer goals.

Shawntay aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward more resilient daily functioning. Based in North Carolina, she offers a collaborative style that honors individual preferences and life circumstances.
Prospective clients who are dealing with grief, trauma, depression, or transitions can expect an empathetic clinician who combines practical strategies with attention to cultural and personal meaning.
Online Approaches That Match Your Goals
Shawntay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often focuses on practical skill building for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and values guide the work, which can be helpful for processing grief, identity concerns, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem areas you want to address, then tailor interventions from these methods so they fit your needs and comfort level rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with Shawntay can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to work around work, family, and mobility constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style so clients can access care in the format that best supports their participation and progress.
