Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who works with people facing midlife stress and change. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, addictions, grief, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. She approaches clients with respect and straightforward care.

Shantele has four years of clinical experience in varied settings. She has supported people dealing with housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and challenges tied to aging such as cognitive decline and aging at home. Her work also includes helping those affected by chronic illness, caregiver strain, and difficult emotions like guilt or emptiness.

Her approach is eclectic and collaborative. She centers the person’s goals and preferences and draws from methods that fit each situation. That means listening first, then offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and make choices that fit the life someone wants to lead.

In sessions she may use tools to shift unhelpful thinking, increase meaningful action, and strengthen motivation for change. She encourages small, workable steps and clear plans for handling setbacks.

Shantele aims to make beginning therapy simple. She emphasizes client autonomy and clear communication about goals. The focus is on practical progress, one step at a time.

How these approaches guide online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with midlife uncertainty, anxiety, and decisions about work or relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding from the person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of big life changes and to feel heard while deciding next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and offers concrete exercises to change them. This approach is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and coping with addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one method first and adjusting over time based on what feels most helpful.

If you prefer remote work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets conversations continue between major life changes so progress can stay steady without needing every session in person.
