About Shawntay
Shawntay Fenyo is a licensed counselor practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of clinical experience and holds MD, LCPC, and LCMHC credentials. Her work focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Shawntay listens without judgment and helps clients name what feels hardest. Together they set small, achievable steps to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with veterans and people facing complex life transitions. Shawntay pays attention to cultural context and how identity shapes emotional experience. That perspective guides how she frames goals and plans interventions.
Therapy draws on several well-established approaches. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thought patterns, and solution-focused strategies for concrete problem solving. These tools are combined to fit each person’s needs.
Sessions may include discussion of past experiences, skills practice, and experiments to test new ways of coping. Shawntay also addresses issues such as abandonment, family stress, postpartum mood changes, life purpose, and isolation. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.
People who prefer clear goals and practical steps often find this style helpful. Shawntay supports those seeking steady progress through repeatable strategies and compassionate listening.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions look like
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with clear exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and build better emotional responses to stressful situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawntay collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it meets the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep making progress. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates or questions between sessions and can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and try approaches consistently even with a busy schedule.
