Shantele Weaver

Shantele Weaver is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction-related struggles, grief, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She presents herself as someone who listens and builds on each person's strengths. She emphasizes client autonomy and works collaboratively on goals that matter to the individual.

Shantele brings about four years of clinical experience across several settings. She has supported people coping with housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and challenges tied to aging such as cognitive decline and aging in place. Her background also includes work related to hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and issues connected to impulsivity and control.

Her practice draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what fits each person. Methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In conversation she focuses on what matters most to the client and practical steps they can try between sessions.

Sessions are framed around respect for the client's story and strengths. She encourages people to notice small changes and to set realistic, doable goals. The emphasis is on steady progress and on building skills for daily life.

Shantele works from the perspective that people know their lives best. She aims to be a guide and a partner while clients sort through difficult emotions and make decisions about next steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Shantele commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means experimenting together and adjusting plans if something does not feel helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use virtual sessions to continue consistent support while focusing on practical strategies and real-world steps that translate into daily routines.
