Shawntay Fenyo

Shawntay Fenyo is a licensed counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She practices in North Carolina and draws on several therapy methods to meet each person where they are. Shawntay aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for someone juggling many demands.

She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. Shawntay creates a calm space to talk through painful memories, sudden losses, or the confusion that comes with major transitions. She also helps people facing identity or cultural concerns, and those coping with mood changes after pregnancy or seasonal shifts.

In the room she uses approaches centered on the client and on changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That includes Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused tools. These approaches shape how she listens, sets goals, and builds small steps toward change.

Shawntay pays attention to cultural background and life context when planning sessions. She works with people who are wrestling with abandonment, family problems, feeling empty or isolated, and questions about life purpose or midlife shifts. Veterans and those with military-related concerns are also among the focus areas listed in her practice.

Her style is warm and direct. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, practical strategies to use between sessions, and space to process emotions at a steady pace. To begin, users follow the site’s start process to match and schedule a session.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a safe space to be heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete steps to change them. That works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where the client's preferences and life demands guide which techniques are used.

Because the profile does not specify session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, enable shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work makes it easier to practice skills in daily life and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals use the approaches above to tailor sessions so they match each person's schedule and aims.
