About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship and family concerns. Sessions also address addictions, grief, sleep issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She offers help for many related concerns such as body image, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try practical changes and new ways of responding. Conversations include looking at thoughts, feelings, and the life situations that keep tension high.
She uses a mix of proven approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered work centers the person's own goals and preferences. Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas help look at how past relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions often include mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and short, focused strategies to manage strong feelings in the moment. People learn tools to handle snapping at loved ones, rising resentment, or sudden outbursts at work. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier behavior rather than quick fixes.
Shanteria takes a culturally aware stance and respects each person's background and identity. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals and preferences at the center of sessions. Online meetings adapt this by letting the therapist follow what matters most to the client and adjust the pace accordingly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then trying concrete changes. CBT works well in online sessions because exercises and homework can be reviewed and adjusted between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean starting with CBT tools for anger management, adding mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or using exploration of past patterns to understand recurring triggers.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats also let people choose shorter or phone-based check-ins if longer video meetings are difficult. These practical choices help clients practice skills in everyday life and keep momentum between sessions.
