About Shaneque
Shaneque Hawkins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns, sleep problems, career stresses, depression, and coping with life changes. Shaneque also notes work with LGBT concerns and a range of related issues such as panic, postpartum depression, and multicultural concerns.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Shaneque leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people slow down and reflect on what matters to them.
Sessions are conducted as a collaborative process. Shaneque frames the relationship as a partnership where the person bringing the concerns is treated as the expert on their life. The focus is on small, doable steps - noticing patterns, testing alternatives, and building coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Her background emphasizes direct work with anxiety, trauma, and adjustment after stressful events. She applies solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques when people want brief, action-oriented work or help finding motivation for change. This mix aims to be practical and goal-directed rather than abstract.
Shaneque helps clients address specific concerns like avoidant or dependent personality patterns, body image issues, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties with commitment. She also supports those facing disaster-related stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and seasonal mood changes. English is the working language for sessions.
How Shaneque Uses Structured Approaches Online
Shaneque works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic by breaking problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and practicing small changes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect back what matters most to the person, helping clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work with her. She will help clients decide whether CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or a mix makes the most sense for their goals. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
