Shaneque Hawkins, LPC

Shaneque Hawkins is an LPC who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Shaneque believes the work is a partnership and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

She draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to shape sessions. That can mean tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing grounding skills, or using simple questions to shift perspective. Sessions also emphasize realistic goals and small changes that add up over time.

Shaneque has four years of experience supporting people through grief, self-esteem struggles, sleep difficulties, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as body image, commitment concerns, and panic attacks. Her background includes helping people with multicultural and veteran-related challenges.

The therapist uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when a clear goal or decision is the priority. That work is practical and action-oriented, with an eye toward what feels possible in daily life. She frames progress as a series of steps rather than instant fixes.

Shaneque works with individuals who identify as LGBT and others facing isolation or emptiness. She encourages honest conversation about values, boundaries, and what people want from relationships and work. The aim is clearer choices and more consistent coping skills.

How therapeutic approaches can guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It emphasizes understanding the client's experience and building a trusting partnership that helps people name what matters and decide next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses concrete exercises such as tracking thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or lift mood.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These tools help people notice stress and respond with calmer, more deliberate choices rather than reacting automatically.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That may mean combining listening-based support with CBT tools or brief solution-focused steps depending on what the person wants.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid long commutes, and maintain continuity during life transitions, while the therapist helps tailor methods to what works best for each person.
