About Shantrece
Shantrece Cole is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self‑esteem, and the heavy days that follow trauma. She focuses on practical steps to ease panic symptoms, manage anger, and work through depression so daily life feels more manageable. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She brings four years of clinical experience and centers sessions on each person’s values and beliefs. That means listening first, then setting small goals you can try between meetings. She pays particular attention to issues that often follow difficult life events, such as guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Many clients come to her to address women's issues, forgiveness work, and relationship patterns tied to abandonment. She also supports people handling workplace stress and the transition into young adulthood. Her approach emphasizes being seen and understood while learning skills to cope in the moment.
Sessions are provided through telehealth, and she invites clients to share what matters most to them so treatment matches their needs. She describes therapy as collaborative work that combines listening with clear steps toward change. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the first scheduling steps.
Shantrece holds an LPC credential and practices in Louisiana. She provides services in English and does not take international clients. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic methods work in online sessions
Shantrece uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real change. One common approach she employs involves teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing and grounding techniques and stepwise exposure to feared sensations. These skills aim to reduce the intensity of panic attacks and help clients feel more in control.Another element of her work centers on processing difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and grief through guided conversation and reflective exercises. This helps people make sense of their experiences, practice self‑compassion, and identify small behavior changes that support recovery and self‑acceptance.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so it fits the individual.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check‑ins during a workday. Others appreciate being able to meet from a familiar setting and to focus on skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt methods to work well over telehealth while keeping the work focused and practical.
