Shenelle Hanley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She holds an M.A. in Psychology from the University of Arizona Global Campus, formerly known as Ashford University, completed additional training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at South University, and earned a B.A. in Psychology from Ashford University. Her training and experience inform a compassionate, strengths-based approach to care.

She has worked with both teenagers and adults, offering support for stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, trauma and abuse, impulse control and anger management, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. Shenelle also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and women’s issues.

In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Shenelle emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people identify practical strategies and build resilience as they move toward more fulfilling and balanced lives. Her work blends empathy with evidence-informed techniques to support lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shenelle Hanley uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person's goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening, helping people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen self-esteem as they recover from loss, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems by teaching clear strategies for changing patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shenelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they monitor progress and adjust techniques to support meaningful change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and continuity of care from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
