About Shikeena
Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Her work includes affirming support for LGBT concerns and guidance through stressful life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations center on what feels most urgent and what can change in day-to-day life. She works with clients to build clearer communication, better emotional awareness, and coping skills that fit real routines.
How Shikeena works
Her practice is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she uses methods backed by research and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions can include skill-building, exploring identity issues, and addressing past wounds that affect current behavior.
Shikeena pays attention to cultural context and identity-related stressors. She aims to create a space where people can talk about gender dysphoria, body image, or guilt without judgment. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to tackle.
She also focuses on specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, and communication problems. Other areas she addresses include blended family issues, divorce and separation, and impulsivity. Her goal is to help people leave therapy with clearer goals and practical strategies.
Clients connect through online formats that fit busy lives. Scheduling is done after a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to align with availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work online
Shikeena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build new skills. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These tools aim to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in daily tasks.Another area of work concentrates on identity and self-esteem, helping people clarify values, name strengths, and address negative self-beliefs. Interventions often involve practicing new ways of talking to oneself and trying small behavioral experiments to test unhelpful assumptions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She discusses options with each person, tailors techniques to the situation, and adjusts the plan as goals evolve. Clients help set priorities and decide which methods to try first.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints for skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
