About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and codependency. She helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary setting, and living around someone else's moods or crises.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can include talking through how past experiences shape current reactions. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow the client's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build attention and soothe stress. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when the work centers on hurts in close relationships. Psychodynamic perspectives help connect present patterns to earlier relationships and losses.
Shanteria pays attention to culture and identity when those themes matter to the client. She describes herself as responsive to diverse backgrounds and aims to make the work relevant to each person's life. Practical skills, insight, and small behavior changes are typical parts of her approach.
Sessions are focused on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings. She supports clients as they practice saying no, set boundaries, recover from emotional harm, or reframe their role in difficult relationships. International clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's priorities and experience. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients choose the topics they want to work on. It fits issues like people-pleasing, boundary work, and making choices in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work this often means rehearsing new responses, testing small behavioral changes between sessions, and using short exercises to track progress on anxiety, depression, or codependency patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and name emotions in close relationships and practice new ways of responding. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction patterns and develop clearer emotional communication skills for relationship-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, or choose conversations without being on camera. Licensed professionals often combine talk, short exercises, and homework between sessions to help clients practice new skills in everyday life.
