Shanequa PalmerLPC

Shanequa Palmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward support aimed at building confidence and motivation. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she works to meet each person where they are.

Shanequa adapts conversations and plans to fit individual needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. In sessions she listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals they can try between meetings. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings client-centered ideas that focus on each person's own values and goals.

Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want help finding reasons to change and sticking with new habits. That can be useful for issues like motivation, impulsivity, or managing overlapping problems such as ADHD and mood changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, fertility and adoption-related concerns, and body image struggles.

Shanequa has four years of counseling experience and practices in South Carolina as an LPC. She tailors pacing and techniques to match what each person needs, whether the priority is short-term coping skills or longer-term personal growth. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process clear and manageable.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and priorities. It helps people feel heard and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical steps to shift patterns that cause distress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build small commitments that stick.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress happens, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. They can also help when someone prefers to meet from a location that limits background noise or when a phone call is simpler than video. Ask about available session lengths and timing to find a rhythm that works with everyday life.
