    About Shanique

    Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, ADHD-related challenges, and career transitions. Shanique writes short, direct plans and talks through practical steps that fit each person’s life.

    She uses a conversational, respectful style and adapts sessions to the person in front of her. That can mean exploring what matters to you, practicing new skills for handling strong feelings, or focusing on small goals that build momentum. She aims to balance listening with clear, doable suggestions.

    Her work draws on several approaches, including Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy, along with cognitive behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These tools are used flexibly to match your needs rather than as fixed programs.

    Shanique keeps plans straightforward and measurable. Sessions may include identifying patterns, trying short exercises between meetings, and checking progress. She stresses compassion and practical change over long lists of jargon.

    She has five years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and organized from her New Jersey practice. To begin, follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to find an appointment that fits your life.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their goals and find internal reasons to change. It focuses on gentle questions and reflections to boost motivation and reduce resistance, which can help with issues like low motivation, substance concerns, or ambivalence about change.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person’s lead. This approach aims to help people feel heard and understood while they sort out what matters most to them.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, panic, depression, or stress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what’s helping and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to one method from the start.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. These arrangements can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what format will work best for scheduling and comfort.
