Shaneque Hawkins, LPC

Shaneque Hawkins is an LPC based in Virginia who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She works with adults coping with stress, sleep problems, career concerns, relationship strain, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. Shaneque frames therapy as a partnership and offers practical support while respecting each person's experience.

In sessions she focuses on clear, straightforward tools people can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of her approach for managing anxious thoughts and improving mood. She also uses client-centered conversation and solution-focused steps to set realistic, short-term goals.

Shaneque has four years of clinical experience and brings that background to everyday problems. She often helps people recover after trauma, handle panic or seasonal mood shifts, and rebuild confidence after loss or major life transitions. Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and issues that can come up for veterans and people from diverse backgrounds.

Sessions may include talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small homework tasks to try between appointments. She aims to make sessions practical and understandable so people can notice change week to week. Shaneque encourages open discussion about goals and adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Therapy is offered in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

Online approaches that fit your daily life

Therapy here often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and improve mood. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, sleep troubles, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy is also part of the process. That approach focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and letting you guide what matters most in your life. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to help people notice stress and practice short grounding or breathing exercises that reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and priorities so the work stays relevant to day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy schedule. Video is helpful for face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling and to pick the format that best matches a given day.
