About Shontay
Florida LMHC with 10 years of experience, Shontay Blakeney helps people facing relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, career crossroads, and major life changes. She moved into therapy after a career change and has worked in private practice, schools, and community agencies. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Shontay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical change and emotional processing.
Shontay talks through what feels most urgent and breaks concerns into manageable steps. She pays attention to patterns around attachment, abandonment, communication, and impulsivity. Conversations often include practical exercises to improve communication, set goals, and build self-compassion. Work on body image, sexuality, or money concerns focuses on concrete behaviors and thoughts that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her background across settings means she can shift between short-term problem solving and longer-term work. For grief and loss she combines emotional processing with strategies to handle day-to-day demands. For career and motivation issues she helps people identify values, set achievable goals, and address obstacles to follow-through.
Sessions address relationship strain, divorce and separation, and loneliness by clarifying patterns and practicing new ways of interacting. When post-traumatic stress, guilt, or shame are present, she helps clients name reactions and develop coping skills to reduce overwhelm.
Shontay emphasizes clear steps, homework when useful, and steady progress toward goals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Shontay works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through small, doable steps; this helps with low motivation, self-esteem, and practical problems at work or in relationships. Another approach centers on processing loss and strong emotions by naming reactions, learning coping skills, and gradually facing difficult memories; this is useful for grief and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on the person’s current concerns, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include practice exercises, brief homework, and regular review of progress so methods stay focused and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats take less bandwidth and work well for short progress checks, while others allow for longer conversations and exercises. Ask about session length and format when you schedule to ensure the plan fits everyday life.
