About Shanequa
Shanequa Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She works with clients who want clearer goals, steadier moods, and better ways to handle conflict. Shanequa aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful.
She uses practical conversation to find what matters to each person and then shapes sessions around those goals. Sessions focus on everyday strategies for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and building confidence.
Background and approach
The pace and tools are adjusted to fit each person's needs. Shanequa draws from client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Motivational Interviewing helps when clients want to strengthen their drive to change. Her background includes four years of clinical experience working with adults on issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and identity concerns. She also addresses practical life stresses like career change, parenting strain, and problems that come up after adoption or in blended families.
Common topics in her practice include coping with life changes, communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, fertility or caregiver stress, and challenges tied to ADHD. Shanequa approaches these matters with sensitivity and without judgment. Sessions are conducted in English and follow a collaborative style.
She encourages questions about the process and works with each person to create a plan that fits their goals and daily life.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on what you want to work on. The therapist listens and follows your lead, helping you set goals and find your own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into steps and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. This method often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by offering practical skills to use between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused style that helps people strengthen their commitment to change. It works well when someone feels unsure or stuck and needs support finding internal reasons to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try strategies that fit those goals, and adjust the plan when needed. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
