About Shenelle
Shenelle Hanley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and related issues such as impulse control and self-esteem.

In sessions she focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She helps people talk through overwhelming feelings and identify small changes that can reduce daily stress. She also addresses sleeping problems, intimacy-related concerns, addiction issues, and coping with life changes.

People who choose her often want clear feedback and concrete tools for everyday life. She helps clients practice new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps people name their priorities and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and practices specific changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting-related stress. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building motivation for change through gentle, goal-oriented conversation and can be helpful for addictions, impulse control, and making life changes.Deciding which method to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods may shift as needs and progress become clearer.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. When you discuss options, consider practical benefits of remote work such as fitting sessions into a workday, shorter phone check-ins when time is tight, or avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between meetings, but the specific formats offered should be verified with the therapist prior to scheduling.
