About Shenelle
Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings four years of clinical experience and a graduate degree in psychology to her work. Shenelle speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical steps parents can use to cope with daily stressors.
She supports people managing anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She also helps with sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Shenelle uses approachable methods to help clients notice patterns and try different strategies.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions emphasize listening first, then building simple, realistic goals. She blends client-centered conversation with techniques that challenge unhelpful thoughts and encourage motivation to change.
Shenelle has worked with a range of adults and teenagers in past roles and draws on that varied experience when helping people find what works. She aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Practical tools are a central part of her work.
That might look like planning small behavior changes, practicing new communication steps, or identifying ways to handle strong emotions. Parents may find this hands-on emphasis helpful when juggling family demands and personal wellbeing.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist mirrors feelings and helps people feel heard, which supports work on grief, self-esteem, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors tied to anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. CBT often uses short exercises and homework to build new habits between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, impulsivity, and getting unstuck when motivation is low.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Shenelle works together with clients to choose methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaboration helps tailor sessions to real-life parenting demands and personal priorities.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy parents. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues while fitting sessions into a tight schedule. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to check in between sessions or manage quick concerns without scheduling a full appointment.
