Shaneka Boles

Shaneka Boles, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She guides clients through life changes, parenting struggles, anger, and issues with self-esteem. Her work includes support for trauma, bipolar symptoms, and ending-of-life concerns. Shaneka aims to make the first step feel possible and less overwhelming.

She uses a calm, straightforward manner in sessions and focuses on listening first. Conversations center on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Many people find this approach useful for coping after loss, navigating difficult conversations, or managing strong emotions.

Her practice combines client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That means sessions can include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and using structured methods to address traumatic memories. Shaneka adapts the tools to the pace each person needs.

Over eight years she has worked with people from different backgrounds in Mississippi. Her LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates professional clinical training. She offers help in English and also accepts international clients when arrangements allow.

People who choose to work with Shaneka fill out a brief questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs. She emphasizes steady progress and real-world skills so clients can handle stress, restore routine, and find more balance in day-to-day life.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding. CBT tools can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a method used to reduce the impact of traumatic memories. When used, it pairs focused recall with specific bilateral stimulation to help process distressing experiences over time.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Shaneka will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She tailors methods to the individual so therapy fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to keep appointments from different locations. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to match scheduling and technical needs.
