Shantaliea Holloway, LPC

Shantaliea Holloway is an LPC with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to fit what each person needs right now.

Shantaliea focuses on practical, straightforward work. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and decide on small changes that make daily life easier. She also addresses anger, low self-esteem, motivation, and issues around intimacy and relationships in clear, direct ways.

Her background includes supporting people with substance concerns, grief, sleep problems, bipolar-related challenges, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or demanding roles. She also lists veteran and armed forces issues as an additional focus area and can incorporate that context when relevant to the person’s story.

Sessions are collaborative. Shantaliea listens first, then co-creates a plan that fits the person’s goals and pace. She emphasizes practical tools and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the approach when needed.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. People who reach out can expect a respectful, empathetic space where the work is aimed at usable strategies and clearer next steps.

How CBT Shapes Online Work and Practical Care

Shantaliea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disturbance. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and some trauma-related concerns.

The choice of approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to figure out which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as keeping appointments without travel or fitting a session into a break at work. Different session formats can affect how a session feels, so confirm the specific options before booking. The therapist and client will discuss what works best for scheduling, frequency, and the kinds of exercises or between-session activities to use.
