About Shequitta
Shequitta Lenoir is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She brings practical, hands-on support for parents and individuals facing relationship stress, mood struggles, addiction, or changes in life. Her approach is straightforward and focused on building skills that help people manage difficult moments and feel more confident day to day.

Background and approach
She has seven years of clinical experience as an LMFT and additional years working in mental health settings with people who had persistent mental illness and substance use concerns. In sessions she teaches clear coping tools and communication skills. She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to create short-term goals and daytime strategies.
The work is practical - learning new ways to handle stress, manage mood, and address addictive behaviors. Shequitta helps people build self-esteem and awareness so they can make choices that fit their life. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, intimacy questions, or the strains of parenting.
Conversations are direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on skills that can be used between sessions. People connect with her when they want concrete tools and steady guidance. Shequitta offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches and online care that fit busy parents
Shequitta commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal skills. This approach helps people who get overwhelmed by strong feelings or who want steadier responses in stressful moments.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and many everyday parenting stressors where changing patterns can reduce symptoms and improve routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shequitta collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She regularly adjusts plans based on what is working and what needs more attention.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people get support between appointments or check in on days when a full session is not possible. These options are meant to increase flexibility and help people keep progress steady despite a hectic schedule.
