About Shanta
Dr. Shanta Jerideau is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can take a first step toward change. She focuses on helping people build confidence and self-esteem. She also assists those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting stress.
How Shanta works
LGBT concerns and broader life transitions are included in her areas of focus. Her approach is practical and collaborative. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s needs.
That means clear goals, check-ins, and strategies you can use between sessions. Dr. Jerideau draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions.
She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional bonds, and commit to meaningful actions. Therapy sessions include listening, skill-building, and planning small steps to handle daily challenges. Appointments aim to be straightforward and goal oriented.
People leave sessions with specific ideas to try and ways to measure progress. Dr. Jerideau emphasizes steady improvement over quick fixes and supports people through setbacks as part of the process.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help when stress, anxiety, or low motivation get in the way of everyday goals.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships by identifying emotions and how they shape interactions. It is useful for intimacy-related concerns, relationship strain, and for rebuilding connection after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Sessions begin with discussion about your goals and needs, and the plan can shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when scheduling limits make live sessions difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using ACT or EFT techniques adapted for remote care.
