About Shantele
Shantele Weaver is a licensed professional counselor and licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career struggles, and compassion fatigue. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make the first steps toward support as simple and encouraging as possible.
She works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and preferences, with the therapist offering practical techniques and steady listening. Conversations are straightforward and guided by what the client says they need most in that moment.
Her background includes supporting people through substance use concerns, suicidal thoughts and self-harm risk management, and challenges tied to housing instability and re-entry after incarceration. She has also worked with issues related to aging, caregiving stress, and cognitive changes that come with later life.
Her approach is intentionally eclectic. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and existential ideas when appropriate. Those methods are used to help people build coping skills, clarify values, and make gradual changes that fit their lives.
Shantele holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices with clients in North Carolina. She communicates in English and aims to support people who are ready to explore practical steps toward improved daily functioning and emotional balance.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction in life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It often includes practical exercises and small experiments to change how someone responds to stress, cravings, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some people use sessions for a focused check-in between other commitments, while others work through skills in longer conversations. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what suits your routine.
