Shaneque Hawkins, LPC

Shaneque Hawkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strains, and life transitions. She welcomes conversations around self-esteem, body image, LGBT concerns, sleep struggles, career stress, and parenting-related pressures. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Shaneque describes therapy as a partnership. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on clear, practical steps. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what matters most to each person.

Her work blends client-centered care with evidence-based tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies help with regulating intense emotions and managing anxiety. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support short-term goals and clearer next steps.

Shaneque has four years of clinical experience working with people facing trauma, adjustment challenges, and general life stressors. She draws on that experience to offer straightforward guidance and steady support during difficult moments. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, postpartum mood shifts, seasonal affective patterns, and issues common to veterans and multicultural clients.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her practice in Virginia. People who are looking for a therapist who listens first and then helps set small, doable goals may find her style helpful. To begin, follow the site’s sign-up flow to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space to clarify what matters most. It helps when someone needs to feel understood and to make sense of difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying small, practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady attention, which can help with stress and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaneque will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and focused on meaningful progress.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family obligations. Online options can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in when a quick update is needed or to avoid travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
