About Shikeena
Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or challenges related to LGBT identity. She also supports those managing stress and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach
Shikeena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means she uses approaches that focus on practical skills, testing what helps, and adjusting when needed. She prefers collaboration - working with each person to set goals and try manageable steps toward those goals.
She brings an affirming and culturally aware stance to therapy. That helps clients who face identity-related stress or worry about social judgment. The room is a place to talk through past hurts, notice patterns, and practice different ways of handling situations.
Sessions often focus on clear, teachable skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. The work can include short-term strategies and longer personal growth, depending on what the person wants to accomplish.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Shikeena draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills and help people test changes in daily life. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and depression through step-by-step exercises and behavior changes that reduce distress and increase functioning.Another approach emphasizes emotional awareness and communication skills to reduce conflict and improve relationships. This method helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen interactions at work or in personal life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats offer practical benefits for fitting therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and try techniques between sessions.
