Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, career problems, and compassion fatigue. She works in North Carolina and brings four years of professional experience to each meeting. Shantele aims to make the first step feel manageable and encourages clients to name what matters most to them.

She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds a plan around their goals and preferences. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady steps toward change. Shantele draws from several approaches so conversations can match what a person needs in the moment.

Her work has included supporting people with cognitive decline related to aging and helping those who want to remain at home as they age. She has also supported people dealing with housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and the stress that comes from caregiving roles.

Shantele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy depending on the situation. She aims to help clients build coping strategies, clarify values, and make concrete choices that reduce distress.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for strengths and practical next steps. If someone is ready to begin, they can use the site process to start therapy and schedule a time to meet.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practicing concrete strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. Motivational Interviewing uses a conversational, nonjudgmental style to strengthen a person’s own motivation to make changes, which can be useful for addictions and ambivalence about change.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist work together to find techniques that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and offer flexible check-ins that match a workday or caregiving routine. It can also let people use approaches like ACT and CBT from wherever they are, while the therapist helps tailor the work to real-life challenges.
