About Shanta
Dr. Shanta Jerideau is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on small, doable changes that make daily life easier.
She adapts the pace and topics to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on a few evidence-based methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings, strengthen close bonds, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions might include experiments, reflective conversation, and skill practice between meetings. The goal is clearer priorities and steadier coping when life becomes hard.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting. People who are juggling parenting roles, relationship stress, grief, or recovery from past hurt often choose to focus on practical ways forward. Dr.
Jerideau works with clients to set goals that feel meaningful and realistic for their lives. Finding the right way of working is a joint process. She tailors discussions and plans to each person's situation and encourages steady progress through small steps.
That makes change feel more manageable and more likely to last.

How her approaches translate to online care
Dr. Jerideau commonly uses acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral work to help people notice thoughts and take action toward their values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most and practicing small actions that move a person toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life to decide what to try first. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits the individual and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when depth and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, brief skills practice, or times when typing is more convenient than speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and maintain momentum between meetings.
