About Shawntay
Shawntay Fenyo is a licensed clinician who has worked in mental health for about 10 years. She holds an MD and practices as an LCPC and LCMHC. She sees people in North Carolina and focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress.
Her work centers on listening first. She makes space for people to talk through painful memories and current worries. Sessions move at a practical pace so clients can try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Shawntay uses several approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going.
She helps people dealing with trauma and abuse by combining trauma-focused ideas with emotional work. Motivational and solution-focused tools are used to set short-term goals and build momentum. She pays attention to cultural background and life context when planning care.
That means talking about values, identity, and practical steps that fit someone’s daily life. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes. Shawntay often supports people facing transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, midlife questions, or challenges tied to military service.
She keeps language simple and practical so worried parents and busy adults can follow the plan and feel heard.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Shawntay commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs to feel heard and validated. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people name and process strong feelings when that becomes important. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - she will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps someone express themselves. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare, or other commitments and allow continuity even when life changes.
