About Shequitta
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Minnesota and Texas with seven years of direct clinical experience. Shequitta Lenoir focuses on relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, addiction, and stress-related problems. She offers practical, skills-based work that aims to reduce crisis and build everyday coping skills.
Shequitta draws on several evidence-based techniques in her sessions. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when addressing substance use and readiness for change.
Her past work includes helping people with severe and persistent mental illness and with drug and alcohol addictions. That background informs how she structures sessions and teaches skills for managing symptoms and preventing relapse. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she focuses on boosting self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness. Conversations typically include short skill practice, goal-focused planning, and feedback about what is or isnt working. She aims for clear, actionable steps clients can try between meetings.
Shequitta earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Ball State University and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. She holds LMFT credentials in MN and TX and conducts work from Minnesota. Sessions are held in English.

How Shequittas approaches work in remote sessions
Shequitta commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning.Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolbox. It helps when someone is weighing change around substance use or other behaviors by exploring the persons own reasons and readiness for change. These methods are practical and skills-focused so they adapt well to conversation and practice in remote sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods, and adjust based on what helps the client meet their objectives. Clients and therapist work together to track progress and switch strategies if needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the provided biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday or evening routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists also use remote sessions to teach and review skills between meetings, which can help people practice in their daily life.
