Shikeena Lynard-Greene, LPC

Shikeena Lynard-Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people who are coping with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Her work centers on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more understood.

She aims to create a compassionate, culturally aware space where people can talk about isolation, social anxiety, and life transitions. Sessions often include developing clearer communication skills and building emotional resilience. The goal is to leave with concrete strategies that fit each person's life.

Shikeena helps clients sort through workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and questions about identity. She listens for patterns that cause repeated pain and works with people to try new ways of responding. This often means small changes that add up over time.

Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear goals and practical tools. Therapy is collaborative - she and the person in session choose what to try and adjust it as needed. Progress is tracked through the issues people bring and the goals they set.

Shikeena has four years of professional experience as an LPC. She practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting work with her are asked to complete the site’s matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

Practical approaches for online growth and coping

Shikeena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, measurable steps people can take. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new responses in daily life; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking. Another approach centers on building stronger communication skills and emotional awareness to reduce conflict and improve workplace or relationship interactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She partners with each person to decide what to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the strategies stay useful and realistic.

Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It can also allow for shorter-focused sessions when needed, or for using audio rather than video if that better suits someone’s bandwidth or comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt methods to work well across different remote arrangements, helping people practice changes in their everyday life.
