About Shantele
Shantele Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with four years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with people who want help for stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on practical, talk-based work that centers the person's own goals and choices. Sessions are driven by the client's priorities and strengths. Shantele describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life and the clinician offers guidance and tools.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Motivational Interviewing supports shifts in motivation when someone is ambivalent about change.
Shantele also uses client-centered and existential strategies to listen and explore meaning, responsibility, and personal choice. She has experience supporting people facing housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, caregiver stress, aging and cognitive decline, and end-of-life concerns. She has worked with drug and alcohol addiction, impulsivity, and issues of guilt and shame.
Sessions are organized around what the client says matters most. Shantele welcomes questions at first contact and helps people decide next steps, including how to arrange an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shantele commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward those values. CBT teaches concrete skills to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, and adjust based on how the strategies fit the client's goals and daily life. That collaboration includes reviewing what helps and what feels realistic in day-to-day routines.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use ACT and CBT tools effectively over distance, guiding exercises, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning that you can practice between sessions.
