About Shantele
Shantele Weaver is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She brings a calm, practical approach and centers each session on the person's goals and strengths. Her style aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of where someone is in their life.
Weaver holds the LPC and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, and she has four years of professional experience working across a variety of settings. She has supported people facing housing instability and challenges returning to the community after incarceration. She also has experience addressing cognitive decline related to aging and helping people navigate hospice and end-of-life matters.
In sessions she uses flexible methods rather than a single strict approach. She emphasizes the client's autonomy and works to match techniques to the person's needs and preferences. That can mean practical skills for managing worry, conversations about values and purpose, or motivational strategies to support change.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations that focus on what is useful in daily life. She pays attention to coping with impulsivity, addiction-related problems, communication struggles, and feelings of guilt or emptiness. The intent is to build on strengths and make changes that fit real-world demands.
Beginning therapy is framed as a step that takes courage. Weaver encourages people to move at their own pace and to set clear, attainable goals. She aims to create a collaborative environment where people feel heard and can work toward better functioning and wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches useful for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and a sense of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and managing addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. That collaboration guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. If you are considering remote therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The focus is on making therapy practical so people can apply skills between sessions and meet their goals without major disruption to daily routines.
