About Shonmeka

Shonmeka Antwi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical tools to manage difficult emotions and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, drawing from evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each client’s needs. With nine years of experience, she often works with people facing workplace pressures, parenting challenges, grief from relationship changes, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.

Her style blends client-centered listening with structured techniques to promote behavioral change and emotional regulation. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing are used to teach coping skills, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and build resilience.

Shonmeka emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify strengths and set realistic goals while offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, anger, and feelings of emptiness. Clients can expect a supportive, growth-oriented process that balances insight with practical skill-building.

She welcomes the chance to work alongside adults through midlife challenges, divorce or separation, workplace stress, and other transitions with the aim of fostering greater self-love, purpose, and healthier day-to-day functioning.

Applying Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Shonmeka often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathetic listening and support so clients can explore feelings and clarify goals at their own pace. These approaches combine structured skill-building with a supportive therapeutic relationship to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative step in the work. She will explore your goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapt the plan together so it fits your needs and promotes steady progress rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities while still accessing licensed professionals who guide skill development and coping strategies.
