About Shanique
Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her style is respectful and grounded, aimed at making the first step toward change feel possible.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions aim to identify what feels most urgent and then build steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Shanique tailors discussions and plans to each person's needs rather than using the same approach for everyone. Her work draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness skills. She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person's goals.
Motivational interviewing elements help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Shanique pays attention to patterns such as impulsivity, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame. She helps people practice new ways of responding to panic, mood swings, and relationship strain.
The aim is to reduce immediate distress and build habits that support longer-term wellbeing. Sessions can include breathing and grounding exercises, behavioral experiments, and short practical assignments between meetings. People who want an empathetic, straightforward approach to managing life changes and building better daily routines may find her style useful.
How therapy approaches map to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experiences. In practice she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose next steps that feel right for them. This approach helps when someone needs space to name priorities and decide what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Shanique uses CBT techniques to break cycles of worry, depression, and panic by testing small changes and tracking results. This is useful for managing anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, and mood patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes practical tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can ease impulsivity and interpersonal conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is goal oriented and reviewed together.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send updates between sessions and get brief support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
