Shenelle Hanley , LPC

Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She has four years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and clinical mental health counseling. Shenelle aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people seeking help with everyday struggles.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction-related challenges, anger and impulse control, and intimacy-related issues. Women's issues are listed among her focus areas, and she addresses those concerns in individual sessions.

Shenelle uses plain language in sessions and encourages clients to talk about what matters most to them. She works alongside people to set realistic goals and build practical skills they can use between appointments. Sessions are intended to feel like a calm space to sort through thoughts and next steps.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That blend helps people understand patterns, rehearse new ways of thinking, and find motivation for change. Shenelle adapts her style to each person's needs and pace.

People can expect video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging as ways to connect. The focus is on small, steady progress toward clearer choices, better coping, and greater self-understanding.

How Shenelle’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and builds a trusting space to identify what they want to change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It includes practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and relationship stress.

Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find internal reasons to make changes. It can be useful for addictive behaviors, impulse control, and moving from uncertainty to clear goals.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and try different techniques as needed. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life. Video can be close to an in-person visit, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between sessions.
