About Shenelle
Shenelle Hanley is an LPC based in South Carolina who brings four years of clinical experience to her work with adults and teens.
Background and approach
She holds an M.A. in Psychology and completed additional training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, building a foundation for practical skills in addressing mood and behavioral concerns. Her background includes supporting people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, impulse control, and issues with self-esteem and confidence.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's unique story. She creates a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings and together explore steps toward healthier coping and personal growth.
Shenelle uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help clients set goals and practice new strategies. Therapy with her focuses on building practical tools and emotional insight, whether a person is coping with life changes, relationship or intimacy concerns, sleep problems, or patterns like codependency and impulsivity.
She also addresses topics including multicultural concerns, women's issues, and recovery from past abuse, tailoring sessions to individual needs and preferences.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. It is often used to break down problems into manageable steps and teach practical coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship, giving clients space to explore feelings and values while the therapist reflects and supports their self-directed growth.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns to determine which combination of methods best fits each person. Over a few sessions she will adjust techniques and priorities based on how the client responds and what feels most useful.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care around daily schedules and life demands. These options allow for flexible scheduling, continued momentum between sessions, and easier access when in-person visits are impractical, while still supporting goal-focused work and skills practice tailored to each client's needs.
