Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach centers on each person’s strengths and goals. Shantele uses an eclectic mix of methods to match what a client needs in the moment.

She brings about four years of professional experience in varied settings. That work has included supporting people with housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and coping with self-harm and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. She also has experience with aging-related concerns such as cognitive decline and helping people age in place.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life and works collaboratively to set goals. Techniques come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. These approaches guide practical steps and reflective conversation.

Shantele holds the LPC and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credentials and is based in North Carolina. She offers therapy in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shantele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing to help clients take practical steps toward values-based change. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and acting in ways that match what matters most. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change, useful for habits like substance use or lifestyle shifts.

She also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape sessions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own expertise about their life. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments to change everyday routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges in a collaborative way. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, keep regular appointments around work or caregiving, or avoid a commute while still getting consistent support.
