01About Shena
Shena Locke is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help people take the first steps toward change. She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about worries, frustrations, and hopes. Sessions are practical and centered on what a person wants to change next.
She has nine years of work in counseling, and she draws on that experience when supporting people through family conflict and trauma.
Background and approach
She helps clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and addictions. She also works with people facing career setbacks, low self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, and postpartum depression. In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then helping clients set small, manageable steps.
Conversations cover skills for coping with strong feelings, ways to rebuild confidence, and strategies to handle change at home or work. Coaching-style guidance is used when someone wants clear, goal-focused support. Shena practices in Georgia as an LPC and conducts therapy in English.
She accepts international clients as well, and offers several online formats to fit different needs. Her approach is straightforward: notice what isn’t working, try practical alternatives, and track what helps. Therapy starts by clarifying goals and priorities together.
Over time, she helps people build routines and skills that reduce overwhelm and strengthen relationships. The focus is on realistic steps that fit everyday life.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions and flexible care
Shena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical problem solving and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people learn concrete skills for managing strong emotions and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to test what works. This is useful for anxiety, panic, anger, and acute stress.Another approach centers on goal-focused coaching and structured conversations to improve confidence, work challenges, and relationship patterns. Sessions outline small steps, track progress, and adapt plans when goals change. This method is helpful for career concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and rebuilding intimacy after strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. Clients and the therapist work together to choose techniques that feel most useful and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and a fuller exchange of cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
