About Shontay
Shontay Blakeney is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of professional experience. She moved into therapy after a career change and now helps people untangle relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and life transitions. Her work also addresses money and financial issues as they affect daily life and wellbeing.
Shontay has practiced in private practice, school systems, and community agencies. That range gives her experience with different kinds of stress and with practical problem solving. In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can say what they need to say.
She focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks. Conversations often cover how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and then move to concrete skills to try between sessions. She helps people build confidence, sort priorities, and take small steps toward career or financial decisions.
Shontay emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then suggests approaches that fit the person sitting across from her. Progress is measured in everyday changes - better communication, fewer overwhelming moments, and steadier decision making.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are the foundation of this therapist's work. One common approach focuses on understanding how thoughts and feelings influence actions, then teaching skills to change unhelpful patterns. This helps with low self-esteem, anxiety about decisions, and repeated relationship conflicts. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and goal setting, breaking big issues into smaller steps and practical tasks to try between sessions. That method is useful for career concerns and money or financial issues that feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to your concerns, your goals, and your preferences, and then recommends a path to try. You and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan if something isn't helping.
