About Shaneka

Shaneka Boles is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. She supports individuals wrestling with parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Shaneka aims to make taking the first step easier by offering calm, straightforward support.

She spends time building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Shaneka listens closely and adapts her approach to each person's needs.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals at the center of care. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. For trauma-related concerns she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of a paced plan.

Shaneka has eight years of professional experience and holds a Master of Science and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She practices in Mississippi and offers services in English. She accepts international clients, and she guides people toward the next right step rather than promising quick fixes.

People who come to Shaneka often want clear tools, steady support, and someone who will listen without judgment. She helps clients set realistic goals, try small changes, and track progress over time.

How her approaches can translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person at the center of care. It helps clients feel heard and decide what goals matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that lead to small, steady change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a paced method sometimes used for trauma-related memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaneka will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people connect from a quieter place. Some formats can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits the day. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people keep momentum between sessions and practice skills in real life.
