About Shena
Shena Locke offers a calm, straightforward presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She greets each visit with patience and an aim to make conversations feel manageable. Shena is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with nine years of clinical experience in Georgia.
She helps people sort through trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with motivation or self-esteem. She also supports those coping with career shifts, addictions, bipolar symptoms, anger, and postpartum depression.
How Shena works
Sessions focus on practical steps a person can take between meetings. Shena creates an atmosphere where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She listens and asks questions to help clients see patterns and options.
Together they set goals and try approaches that fit each person's life. Her work emphasizes small, doable changes and building skills for everyday stress and big transitions. Shena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what the client needs.
She aims to make therapy useful and relevant to real problems. People meet with Shena by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. She accepts English-language sessions and works with clients inside and outside the United States.
The practical steps in sessions are matched to the client’s goals and schedule.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Shena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves skill-building to manage anxiety and stress - learning breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse in manageable steps so memories and reactions become less disruptive to everyday life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shena works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, life demands, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
Online therapy offers convenience and flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or jotting down thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
