About Shequitta
Shequitta Lenoir is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a practical, skills-focused style to her work. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps people build tools they can use between sessions. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, and she speaks plainly about next steps and small changes that add up.
Shequitta earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Ball State University and a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University in Eagan, Minnesota.
Background and approach
She holds LMFT credentials in Minnesota and Texas and has seven years of experience providing psychotherapy. Prior to clinical practice she spent additional years working in the mental health field with people facing severe and persistent mental illness and substance use challenges.
In sessions she draws on evidence-based techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, along with solution-focused ideas. She explains skills, models them, and practices them with clients so people leave with usable strategies. The focus is on building confidence, managing intense emotions, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Shequitta works with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anger, and ADHD. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Shequitta uses clear, action-minded language to help people make steady progress toward their goals.
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Shequitta commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions and improving how someone responds to stress.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to support readiness for change. It centers on listening, exploring ambivalence, and helping people find their own reasons to take practical steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their current goals, preferences, and daily demands. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows flexibility when schedules are busy. Video is useful for full conversation and practice of skills, phone calls work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is low, and messaging can support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or brief progress updates. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
