Shikeena Lynard-Greene , LPC

Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to help clients feel understood while they work on real-life challenges.

She listens for the everyday problems that make life feel hard, like trouble at work or difficulties with relationships. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing stress, and building emotional resilience. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer clear strategies clients can try between sessions.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is measured in practical steps. She pays attention to cultural context and identity, and she affirms people who are exploring gender and sexual orientation questions. Conversations can cover social anxiety, isolation, and life transitions as they come up.

Her work also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment feelings, attachment struggles, body image, and impulse control. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and issues that come from complicated family or relationship histories. The aim is to turn insight into manageable skills.

Shikeena values straightforward communication and small, achievable changes. She meets people where they are and adapts strategies to fit each person’s life. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional footing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Shikeena draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and stepwise problem solving. These tools are useful when stress or low mood make daily tasks harder.

Another strand of her work emphasizes improving communication and relationships. This involves practicing how to state needs, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings. It can help when workplace tension, relationship strain, or attachment concerns are causing recurring problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She partners with each person to identify goals, tries methods that fit those goals, and adjusts based on what helps. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and practice conversations in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send quick updates, try exercises between sessions, or check in on progress without scheduling a full session. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and daily life.
