About Shenelle
Shenelle Hanley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She holds a Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Arizona Global Campus and completed additional clinical mental health counseling training at South University. Shenelle has four years of professional experience and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related concerns including sleep difficulties and impulse control.
She works in a direct and nonjudgmental way. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most pressing, learning practical skills, and building routines that fit daily life. Shenelle aims to make the room feel open so clients can name feelings and try new coping ideas without pressure.
Her background includes work with teenagers and adults. That experience shapes how she approaches mood concerns, trauma, and relationship issues. She can help people who are coping with life changes, problems with self-esteem, or struggles around intimacy and communication.
Shenelle uses several common approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's goals and pace. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change behaviors but feel unsure where to start.
Practical matters are part of her work. She talks with clients about strategies for sleeping better, managing stress, and handling strong emotions. The overall aim is to help people take small steps toward more steady days and clearer priorities.
How Shenelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Shenelle uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's goals and pace; the therapist follows the client's lead and creates space to name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change when they feel stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. If something doesn't fit, they adjust the plan together so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick strategy or mood check is needed, and it can let someone choose a format that suits their energy and schedule. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking to know what will work best for daily life and recovery.
