About Shanique
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 5 years of experience, Shanique Slowley-Azeez helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and motivation challenges. She works with issues that include parenting strain, intimacy-related questions, grief, career decisions, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear conversation rather than jargon.
Shanique uses several structured approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that maintain distress. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to build emotion regulation and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how she listens and helps people move toward goals.
People meet Shanique to talk through immediate problems and to learn manageable tools for day-to-day life. She works on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and social isolation. For intimacy and sexuality concerns she focuses on practical steps and safer decision-making rather than labels or judgment.
Sessions may include goal-setting, short behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises to reduce panic and rumination. Shanique also supports people dealing with chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and bipolar-related life management with concrete strategies and check-ins.
Her practice is task-oriented and collaborative. Shanique helps people set realistic next steps, track progress between sessions, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to outline priorities together.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Shanique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Shanique reviews a person's goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into weekly life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools for remote work so sessions focus on practical steps, skills practice, and reviewing progress together.Sheet 3
