About Shantrece
Shantrece Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also helps people dealing with feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
She uses a client-centered approach that pays attention to each person's values and spiritual beliefs. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about what is happening now. That might include naming unhelpful thought patterns, learning ways to manage intense emotions, and practicing small steps to change day-to-day reactions.
Shantrece often supports people who want to process past hurt or traumatic events and who are trying to rebuild trust with themselves. She also works with clients facing workplace stress, panic attacks, and struggles that commonly affect young adults and women. Therapy emphasizes direct skill-building alongside deeper reflection.
Her practice is provided through telehealth. The work tends to be collaborative - clients set goals and decide what to try next. Sessions can include talking through difficult memories, practicing breathing or grounding techniques, and planning actions to reduce overwhelm.
People who carry guilt or shame about decisions, identity, or relationships may find the focus useful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see if this approach fits them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Shantrece describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in daily life. One common approach she emphasizes is client-centered work, which centers the client's values and goals and helps people identify which changes feel manageable and meaningful. This method is useful for addressing guilt, shame, and identity-related concerns because it starts with what matters to the client.Another typical focus is skills-based intervention for stress and anxiety. That involves teaching practical tools such as breathing and grounding exercises, strategies to notice and shift negative thought patterns, and step-by-step plans for coping with panic or overwhelm. These tools are aimed at reducing immediate distress and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on the client's goals, history, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with regular check-ins about what is working and what needs adjusting.
Because the biography specifies telehealth, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also accommodate quieter or camera-free options if that helps a client engage with the work.
