About Shanique

Shanique Slowley-Azeez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and challenges related to focus and impulsivity such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting pressures, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and issues like control, guilt, and isolation. Shanique approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs.

She blends client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing strategies to help clients build practical coping skills. Sessions emphasize collaboration and realistic goal setting to support meaningful change.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist aims to clarify priorities, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve day-to-day functioning. Shanique frames therapy as a process that requires courage to begin and offers steady guidance while tailoring interventions to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions and support change

Shanique integrates client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the client’s own goals, creating a space where people can explore concerns and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a core part of her practice and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the treatment plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and differing communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and provide multiple ways to access support when in-person visits are not feasible.
