About Shanta

Shanta Hayes is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, parenting concerns, ADHD, and grief. She brings four years of clinical experience and approaches each person with respect and compassion. Shanta frames clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to build on existing strengths.

Her sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set small, attainable goals.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to what each person needs, whether that means coping tools for panic, strategies for better sleep, or coaching around money and life purpose. Shanta has worked in settings that included care for children and adolescents, and she also sees adults for mood and anxiety concerns.

She helps people sort through communication problems, impulsivity, and disruptive mood challenges so they can manage daily routines more easily. She is comfortable talking about less common relationship topics, including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, and she supports people navigating sexual identity and intimacy questions without judgment.

Shanta also addresses women's issues and the unique pressures many women face in work and family roles. People who choose her can expect a collaborative style. She offers tailored plans rather than one-size-fits-all advice, and she encourages clients to use their strengths as the basis for change.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Shanta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life changes. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - changing daily routines, sleep habits, and small actions that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps when worry, panic, or sleep problems get in the way of functioning. Another approach centers on strengths and problem-solving. It guides people to identify what works for them, set clear goals, and practice new ways of handling money, communication, or parenting stress. That method suits clients who want coaching-style support alongside therapy. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they revise the plan as progress or new needs appear. Online formats make this flexible. Video calls let therapists observe expressions and body language for fuller sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, between-session coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
