Shenelle Hanley, LPC

Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She completed a Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Arizona Global Campus and has four years of professional experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps toward feeling better.

She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues with sleep and self-esteem. She also supports people facing impulse control, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related worries. Relationship concerns and parenting strain are part of her stated focus as well.

Her sessions emphasize an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what they are feeling. She uses straightforward conversation and reflective listening so people feel heard and understood. Therapy is framed as a collaborative effort rather than a lecture.

Shenelle draws on Client-Centered techniques to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and make small behavioral changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help finding reasons to change.

She mentions work with teenagers and adults in past roles and aims to empower clients to set realistic goals. To begin, she asks people to describe where they are struggling and what would feel different. That helps shape a simple plan for the next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. It helps when someone needs a respectful, accepting space to talk through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulses by practicing small, concrete changes.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by helping them find their own reasons to try new behaviors. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there they decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to adjust the plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to continue sessions when schedules or locations change, while the therapist focuses on practical steps and coping strategies that translate to everyday life.
