About Shanta
Dr. Shanta Jerideau is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in South Carolina with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, intimacy, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. Sessions are framed around practical talk and problem-solving rather than jargon.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice thoughts, adjust unhelpful patterns, and clarify personal values. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when relationship dynamics are central. This mix is used to address both immediate symptoms and underlying patterns that sustain them.
In sessions she focuses on specific goals and small, manageable steps. Expect conversations that identify thoughts and behaviors to try different ways of responding. She offers concrete tools for coping with anxiety, low mood, and relationship tension.
Her background includes counseling work across common life changes and losses. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where progress is measured in changes people can use in daily life. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in how she communicates and plans treatment.

How these approaches are used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions in line with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and introduces practical experiments to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early or current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions, which can help when intimacy or relationship dynamics are a main concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining parts of ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused work over several sessions to see what helps most.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a convenient location. Some formats also let conversations be shorter or rely less on video if that better suits a person’s schedule or comfort. Licensed professionals adapt their approach so therapy can be practical and usable between sessions.
