About Shaneka
Shaneka Boles is an MS LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar and depression, relationship and parenting strains, and anger and low self-esteem. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to discover what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Shaneka listens for the patterns in behavior and feeling that keep problems repeating, then works with clients to try different ways of responding.
Shaneka draws on client-centered methods to keep the person's perspective central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. For people with traumatic memories, she offers EMDR as one of the approaches she can use.
In sessions she talks through immediate problems and builds skills for managing strong emotions like anger. She helps clients practice tools between meetings so change can show up in everyday moments. Conversation is direct and work-focused, with attention to what’s realistic for a person’s life.
Her experience includes supporting people through relationship conflict, attachment challenges, blended family issues, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, isolation, forgiveness, and end-of-life concerns. Shaneka works in English and accepts international clients, and she practices from Mississippi.
How her approaches translate to remote work
Shaneka uses client-centered work to keep the person’s goals front and center, helping people talk through what matters and choose the next steps. This approach is about listening, reflecting, and adjusting goals based on real-life progress.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT works well for stress, anger, anxiety, and depression because it gives specific skills to practice between meetings. For people affected by traumatic memories, EMDR is another option she uses to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaneka reviews concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and recommends methods that fit their needs. She checks in as work unfolds and adjusts techniques when something is not helping.
