Shantele Weaver, LPC, LCMHC

Shantele Weaver, LPC and LCMHC, has more than four years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She is licensed in Pennsylvania and works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, and struggles related to addiction, including coping with self-harm and managing risk for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Her experience also includes assisting people with career difficulties, housing instability, and re-entry into society after incarceration, as well as addressing compassion fatigue and cognitive changes associated with aging. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCMHC stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, credentials that reflect her clinical training and practice.

Shantele approaches therapy from an eclectic, client-centered perspective that honors each person as the expert on their own story. She looks for and builds on individual strengths while honoring autonomy, personal preferences, and the goals clients set for their mental health and well-being. Her practice draws on techniques and frameworks chosen to suit the unique needs of each person she works with.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Shantele recognizes that step as meaningful. She emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and a supportive stance as clients move toward the changes they seek, and she welcomes the opportunity to meet and work with new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shantele Weaver commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters to them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck by them - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent life challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting a person’s autonomy so clients feel heard and empowered to explore solutions at their own pace - this approach supports goals around coping, decision making, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work Shantele does with each client. She will discuss options, consider a person’s needs and preferences, and adapt methods over time so the plan fits the client’s goals and circumstances.

Online therapy with Shantele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or another convenient location, and integrate sessions into busy routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each client.
