About Shanique
Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or stuck after changes in life. She also supports clients facing trauma, struggles with self-esteem, parenting concerns, intimacy questions, and attention-related challenges.
Her sessions are built around respectful, sensitive conversation. Shanique listens first, then tailors the work to each person’s needs. She uses plain language and practical steps so clients can try things between sessions.
Over five years of work has included supporting people with panic, grief, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and recovery from abuse. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her focus on immediate coping skills and deeper patterns that keep problems returning.
Shanique frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set short-term goals and tests strategies that fit their daily life. The aim is practical improvement you can notice between sessions.
How Shanique’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions using this approach typically involve open conversation and goals set by the client to address what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. When used online it often includes teaching grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and brief skills practice that clients can use in real time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. This may shift over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since they are not listed here. A benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy days - shorter check-ins can work during breaks, and sessions avoid travel time. Online work also makes it easier to try skills between meetings and to involve tools like worksheets or guided mindfulness practices.
