About Shenelle
Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with four years of professional experience. She holds an M.A. in Psychology and completed additional clinical mental health counseling training. Shenelle works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger and impulse control, and relationship and intimacy concerns.
Her approach is practical and conversation-based. She uses Client-Centered ideas to focus on each person's experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
In sessions Shenelle helps people talk through recent losses, ongoing stress, or frustration that shows up at work or at home. She supports those dealing with substance issues, sleep problems, or major life changes. She also addresses trauma-related concerns and features of personality that make relationships or daily life harder.
Shenelle has worked with both teenagers and adults in previous roles. Her clinical background includes coursework and practicum work in clinical mental health counseling. She frames the work as a sequence of small, manageable steps rather than a single fix.
When someone wants to get started she guides them through a short intake process and a first session focused on clear goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says. Online sessions let Shenelle follow your lead, clarify how you feel, and help you name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns going. In remote sessions she can guide you through simple exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps when someone feels stuck about making changes; it involves short, focused questions that build readiness rather than pressure.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions typically focus on identifying one or two concrete goals and testing what feels most helpful.
The practical advantages of online work often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions useful for regular check-ins, practicing skills between meetings, and maintaining continuity when life is hectic.
