About Shanteria

Shanteria Onyemem is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people handle trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and major life changes. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions focus on identifying strong emotions, understanding how they affect behavior, and practicing new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Shanteria uses straightforward tools people can try between meetings. With 15 years of experience, she brings steady clinical judgment and a calm presence. She pays attention to cultural background and personal identity when shaping treatment.

That means therapy is tailored to each person, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Typical topics include coping with loss, rebuilding after abuse, managing anger, or navigating career and caregiver stress. She also addresses concerns like sleeping problems, body image, chronic illness, and intimacy-related issues.

Progress is measured by how well new skills fit into daily life. Shanteria works with adults seeking clearer emotional understanding and better coping strategies. People who want a collaborative, emotion-focused process will find practical steps and conversational support in sessions.

Online support

How emotion-focused and practical approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name powerful feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships or daily life. It can be useful for grief, relationship struggles, and feeling stuck by strong reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that fit their values and needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shanteria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment can shift over time as goals change and new skills are learned.

Online therapy can make scheduling easier and more flexible. Video calls let people maintain eye contact and read facial cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging fits people who prefer written check-ins or need support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
