About Shikeena
Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and questions around sexual and gender identity. She practices in New Jersey and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier in daily life. Her style is compassionate and culturally aware, and she centers each session on the person in front of her.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include building better communication skills, practicing ways to manage stress, and naming emotions so they feel less overwhelming. She also supports people coping with workplace strain, life changes, and identity exploration.
Shikeena pays close attention to how past wounds affect current relationships and behavior. That might mean working through attachment or abandonment concerns or addressing guilt and shame. She also helps clients who are navigating issues like body image, impulsivity, or difficulties with commitment and control.
Her work includes attention to a broad set of concerns such as ADHD, social anxiety, and experiences common in LGBT communities, including gender dysphoria. She aims to tailor approaches to each person’s situation rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.
With four years of clinical experience, Shikeena emphasizes collaboration. People leave sessions with concrete next steps they can try between meetings, whether that means small behavior changes or new ways to talk about difficult topics.
How evidence-based methods work online
Shikeena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and testing new, more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another common element is skills training for stress and emotion regulation, which teaches short exercises people can use during a hard moment to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, adjusting techniques, and agreeing on small homework between sessions to try what was learned.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools so work on stress, identity, or ADHD-related struggles fits everyday life.
