About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is an LPC in Texas who helps people facing money-related stress as part of broader life challenges. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Sessions are meant to be practical and focused on what matters now.
She takes a straightforward, compassionate approach. Conversations center on the client's experience and goals. Shanteria uses clear tools to help people manage strong feelings, build coping skills, and improve sleep and daily routines.
Her work draws on several therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to feel heard and respected while they make decisions that fit their lives.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness Therapy are part of her practice when addressing relationship and stress-related issues. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns from the past that keep repeating today. These approaches are mixed to match each person's needs rather than following a single script.
Shanteria has 15 years of experience helping people navigate grief, career challenges, addiction concerns, and chronic health stressors. She is attentive to cultural background and identity when shaping a plan for therapy. To begin, clients are guided through a short matching process and scheduling based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel understood; online sessions offer a space to talk things through and set goals that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be done through guided conversations and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships and can be used online to practice new ways of relating and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
