About Shanique
Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sexual impulsivity, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Her work is practical and direct, focused on concrete steps rather than long theory. Shanique speaks English and sees people in New Jersey.
She bases her approach on therapies that emphasize clear skills and short-term strategies. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing. Sessions typically look at thoughts, habits, and daily routines and test small changes to see what helps.
Shanique prioritizes straightforward conversation. She and the person she sees set goals together and use measurable steps to track progress. Homework or between-session practice may be suggested to build new habits and coping skills.
She works with common life stresses such as grief, career decisions, parenting challenges, relationship intimacy issues, and struggles with concentration or impulsivity. Additional focus areas include communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexuality.
For people who want a coaching-oriented option, Shanique blends practical coaching techniques into therapy when that fits the goal. Her method aims to make sessions useful for everyday life, with clear next steps after each meeting.
How Shanique uses structured approaches in remote work
Shanique draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT routines often include short exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clear interpersonal strategies when emotions run high.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Shanique will review goals and preferences with each person and recommend approaches that fit the issue at hand. She combines skill-building, goal setting, and brief experiments to see what works best for daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can still assign practical between-session tasks and use video or audio to practice new communication and coping skills during appointments.
