Dr. Shanta Jerideau, LPC

Dr. Shanta Jerideau is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, with attention to each person’s unique needs.

She uses practical conversations to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Clients can expect clear, manageable steps to try between sessions. Dr. Jerideau adapts her approach to fit individual goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her work includes attention to grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and challenges faced by LGBT individuals. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set realistic next steps. Sessions emphasize skills that people can practice in daily life.

Dr. Jerideau draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused perspectives, and emotionally-focused work. She explains options plainly and helps people understand why a particular strategy might help.

People who want a collaborative, task-oriented approach may find her style a good fit. She aims to make the process straightforward and focused on progress. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support while clients work toward change.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Dr. Jerideau commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and act in line with their values. Cognitive behavioral work breaks problems into smaller parts so clients can test new habits and track progress. Acceptance and commitment methods focus on noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and taking small actions toward a valued life.

She also uses attachment-informed perspectives when relationship patterns or past connections shape current struggles; that work helps people name patterns and practice new ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video can be used for in-depth work and seeing emotional cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, try strategies between sessions, or communicate when a full session is not possible. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different schedules.
