About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, and life transitions. Shanteria also lists social anxiety and phobia among the issues she supports. She works with adults who want practical ways to manage feelings that get in the way of daily life.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns and Mindfulness Therapy to build calm attention skills.
Shanteria describes her work as culturally aware and attentive to each person’s background. She helps people make clearer choices, set boundaries, and build coping skills for stress and anger. Practical tools for sleep, mood, and managing intense emotions are part of her approach.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Texas and a focus on helping those facing career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and grief. She supports people dealing with relationship conflicts, communication problems, and issues around intimacy and body image.
Sessions are goal-focused and paced to match what a person needs at the time. The emphasis is on small, doable steps that people can try between meetings, with attention to everyday life demands and routines.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions can focus on the person’s priorities and allow time to name feelings and set simple goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online work often uses brief between-session experiments and written worksheets to test new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice, name, and shift emotional responses during conversations.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and everyday routines, then decide together which approaches to try and how to pace the work.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients use remote sessions to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion. Ask about format options when scheduling so sessions match practical needs without assuming a specific setup.
