About Shanequa
Shanequa Palmer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems with relationships and self-worth. She writes in a direct, respectful way and aims to make the first steps easier for people who are unsure where to begin. Shanequa works to tailor conversations and plans to each person's specific needs.
She focuses on practical ways to manage anger, improve motivation, and build confidence. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small changes that add up over time.
How Shanequa works
Her approach draws on client-centered ideas that put the person's perspective first. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
Shanequa has four years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and she practices in South Carolina. She speaks English and supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career decisions, and concerns around intimacy and body image.
People often come for help with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and co-occurring problems such as ADHD and mood symptoms. Work in sessions is practical and conversational, focused on what the person wants to change and how to get there. She encourages anyone feeling uncertain to take a small step toward help.
The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling, then moves into focused sessions that match the individual's goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shanequa uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and understanding each person's experience, then shaping sessions around their priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward what matters most to them.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, anger, and unhelpful thinking patterns by practicing new responses and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds readiness.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when video isn't practical, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and practice new skills between meetings.
