Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver is a licensed counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She brings a supportive, down-to-earth style and invites clients to be the experts on their own lives. Short conversations in the first sessions focus on practical concerns and immediate coping strategies.

Shantele uses several approaches to tailor work to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help shifting behavior, especially around substance use and other addictive patterns.

Her background includes about four years working in varied settings, where she supported people facing housing instability, re-entry after incarceration, and aging-related cognitive decline. She also has experience with end-of-life issues and caregiver stress. That mix of work has informed a practical, flexible way of meeting people where they are.

In sessions she focuses on what the client wants to change and on small, manageable steps toward those goals. Conversations often include skill practice, brainstorming alternatives, and checking what worked between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than instant fixes.

Shantele sees clients in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and whether those fit their needs.

Approaches that translate to online work

Shantele commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, which can ease stress and improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and changing addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying techniques in sessions and adjusting based on what feels useful and realistic for the client.

Session formats are not detailed in this profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the equation. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care and practicing skills between meetings, and a therapist will discuss how to tailor sessions to daily routines and technology needs.
