About Shantrece
Shantrece Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Shantrece also addresses concerns such as abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted via telehealth and offered in English.
Shantrece works in a client-centered way that acknowledges each person's values and beliefs. In sessions she listens for patterns that worsen stress and negative thinking, and helps people try different ways of responding. Conversations can include processing past hurts, building clearer personal boundaries, and developing practical steps for daily coping.
She often supports people who are sorting through transitions such as job changes, relationship endings, or shifts in personal priorities. For issues tied to trauma or panic, she focuses on concrete strategies to manage symptoms and reduce the intensity of difficult moments. Work on forgiveness, self-love, and guilt looks at realistic next steps rather than quick fixes.
Shantrece pays attention to how workplace concerns and young adult stressors affect mood and decision making. She frames sessions around short-term goals when that helps, and longer exploration when deeper change is needed. Therapy is collaborative - she and the client decide which steps to try and when to adjust them.
To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit into online sessions
Shantrece names client-centered work as the foundation of her sessions, which means she pays attention to each person’s values and preferences and adapts questions and exercises accordingly. This approach helps when someone needs to sort priorities or decide what matters most after a life change.She also emphasizes practical techniques to manage anxiety and panic. Those techniques focus on recognizing triggers, practicing brief coping steps, and reducing the intensity of panic or worry so daily functioning is easier. For trauma-related symptoms she uses structured methods that break down overwhelming memories into manageable pieces and build skills to respond differently to reminders.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She and the client review what feels useful, try small changes, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. The aim is to find methods that match the client’s goals, values, and day-to-day life rather than forcing one single model.
