I have never had a great experience with therapy until now. Shanteria is so kind and understanding. I feel very comfortable with her, and it has only been a few sessions, but her support has been immensely helpful. I couldn't thank her enough! This is the first time I can say that therapy has been helpful for me.
More about Shanteria
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate challenges related to trauma, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach that honors each person's unique experiences and identity.
My therapeutic work focuses on addressing a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and personal growth. I am particularly committed to supporting women, young adults, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds who are seeking meaningful healing and self-discovery.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-understanding. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, reclaim your sense of purpose, and move toward the life you envision.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
