Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She has four years of professional experience and offers straightforward support for common, painful problems.

Her work includes helping people navigate housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and the daily demands of caregiving. She also supports those managing cognitive decline related to aging and challenges that come with aging in place. Addictions, self-harm coping, and managing risk for suicidal thoughts or behaviors are among the concerns she has experience addressing.

Shantele draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She centers the client’s goals and preferences and adjusts what she uses to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to build on strengths and teach clear skills for handling stress and overwhelming feelings.

She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices with an emphasis on respect and collaboration. Her background includes work in varied settings where practical problem solving matters as much as emotional support. Shantele works in English and practices from North Carolina.

If you decide to start, expect direct conversation about your immediate needs, short-term goals, and small steps you can try between sessions. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help when anxiety, emptiness, or chronic stress keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, coping with cravings, and managing mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match current goals, needs, and preferences. Techniques may be adjusted across sessions as progress is tracked and priorities change.

Session format options are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove travel time so people can use their available breaks. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, practice coping strategies, and follow up on homework between visits, all aimed at helping clients manage stress, addiction concerns, grief, and caregiving strain without forcing a change to daily routines.
