About Shaneka

Shaneka Boles is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Mississippi with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting issues, low motivation, low self-esteem, and confidence struggles. Her work includes support for grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.

Shaneka uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most difficult in day-to-day life. She listens to what people describe and then uses practical steps from evidence-based methods to address those concerns. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals rather than abstract theory.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. For clients with traumatic memories, she includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing tools when appropriate.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that names small, realistic changes. Shaneka pays attention to communication patterns, attachment questions, and problems that come up after divorce, separation, or major losses. She also addresses anger, impulsivity, isolation, and issues that affect family or blended family dynamics.

Sessions are conducted in English and Shaneka accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Shaneka uses client-centered methods to focus on each person's perspective and priorities, helping people name what matters most and guiding conversations around those concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, often through small, actionable steps. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is offered as a way to process traumatic memories when it seems helpful; it involves structured techniques to move through upsetting memories with guidance.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Shaneka will talk about what the person hopes to change, try a method, and adjust based on how it goes. The process is about finding what fits a person's goals and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when energy or bandwidth is limited, while others choose video sessions for more interactive work. The therapist profile does not list specific formats, so confirm available online session types before booking to make sure they match your needs.
