About Shaneka
Shaneka Boles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Shaneka also focuses on issues like attachment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters next. Sessions center on listening, reflective feedback, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate.
Shaneka approaches sessions as a chance to identify small, manageable changes. That might mean testing a new way to handle conflict, practicing a different thought pattern, or processing a painful memory. She aims to keep plans concrete and realistic so they fit into everyday life.
Her background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, separation and divorce, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and community disaster response. Shaneka draws on these experiences when a client needs focused support around loss, crisis, or family stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Shaneka uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person's experience and priorities. That approach means she listens closely and reflects back what she hears so the client can clarify goals and decide what feels most important to address.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps when someone wants practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behavior patterns by testing small changes and tracking results.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process distressing memories that keep affecting daily life. It is commonly applied for trauma and abuse and aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories so they are easier to handle in day-to-day situations.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Shaneka discusses options with each person and together they choose what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process can involve trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it feels.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and some formats can be shorter for quick check-ins or conducted without video to lower bandwidth needs. Ask about the session lengths and technical requirements when you schedule to make sure they match your routine and needs.
