About Shaneque
Shaneque Hawkins is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Her approach is conversational and partnered, with the client steering the goals and her offering guidance along the way.
Shaneque keeps sessions short and clear when needed. She listens and helps people name what feels hard. She then works with each person to try small, doable changes that fit their life. This can include coping skills for panic, strategies for sleep, and ways to rebuild self-esteem.
She uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Sessions also draw on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people move toward what matters to them. Trauma-focused work is offered when someone needs support processing difficult events.
Her background includes four years of clinical experience counseling people with depression, adjustment issues, postpartum concerns, and grief. She also works with clients facing multicultural stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and challenges around identity and relationships.
Shaneque practices in Virginia and sees English-speaking clients. Her style is straightforward and calm. She aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative path toward manageable change.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting partnership. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and values, which can be useful for grief, self-esteem, and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and low mood by trying small, structured changes between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and to gentle self-awareness. It can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation during periods of change.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
