About Shanteria
Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges that come with life changes. Her work also covers self-esteem, anger, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues around intimacy and sleep.
Shanteria uses clear, practical methods rather than long theory talks. She listens for the patterns that keep a person stuck and helps them test small changes. Sessions often include exploring feelings, learning new ways of thinking, and practicing skills to cope with difficult moments.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her address both present problems and the earlier experiences that shape reactions now. She helps people connect emotions to behavior and try concrete alternatives in everyday life.
People working with her can expect straightforward pacing and collaboration about goals. She invites discussion of culture and identity as part of understanding stress and resilience. Work may move between short-term problem solving and longer conversations about patterns that repeat.
Shanteria accepts sessions in English and is available to international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the person and build on their strengths to address stress and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes through targeted exercises and homework.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift those patterns. This can help with intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship problems.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, current struggles, and how they prefer to work. That choice can change as progress is made.
