About Shanta

Dr. Shanta Jerideau is an LPC based in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She works from a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance, adapting conversations and care plans to align with each person's circumstances and goals. Her practice addresses self-esteem and motivation, intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and concerns relevant to LGBT clients.

Dr. Jerideau draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide collaborative work.

She emphasizes practical steps and individualized strategies that aim to build skills for coping with life changes and improving emotional well-being. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step toward change through a simple matching and scheduling process, and she accepts international clients as well as those in South Carolina.

Integrating practical approaches with online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, helping people develop skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing inner experiences without judgment and clarifying values-driven actions, which can assist with stress, motivation, and adapting to life changes.

Finding the most helpful approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment-focused work as progress unfolds.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in ways that feel most comfortable. These options help people access consistent care from South Carolina or abroad, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
