About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people cope with big emotions and life changes. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
She draws on 15 years of experience working with issues like relationship strain, stress at work, grief, addiction, and sleep problems.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, such as new ways to react in tense moments and simple habits to ease anxiety. Shanteria often uses mindfulness and cognitive tools to break down overwhelming thoughts into workable pieces. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
That means listening first, then shaping a plan that fits the client’s goals and circumstances. She pays attention to cultural background and personal history when talking about patterns and triggers. Therapy can include looking at past experiences that affect current feelings, learning skills to manage intense emotions, and practicing communication strategies for strained relationships.
She mixes problem-focused techniques with space to process emotions, so clients can make steady changes. Sessions may be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shanteria accepts international clients and works with adults who want help moving through anger, trauma, or other life difficulties.
To begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs support sorting emotions, rebuilding confidence, or making changes at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps. It is practical for anger, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes because it offers clear exercises and homework to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people map their emotional responses and work on deeper patterns in relationships and attachment. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and grief by creating space to name and shift strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients often move between talking, skill practice, and mindfulness work as they figure out what fits.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a more personal connection is helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.
