About Shantra

Shantra Beane Gray is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 22 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions and with grief and loss. Shantra aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name difficult feelings and begin to work through them.

She uses straightforward conversation and listening to understand each person’s situation. Sessions emphasize realistic steps and coping strategies that fit into everyday life.

Background and approach

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and mindfulness practices are used to manage intense emotions in the moment. Her approach is client-centered, which means she follows the person’s pace and priorities. Shantra also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take actions that matter to them.

These methods can be useful for people struggling with drug or alcohol issues, codependency, or the complex feelings that follow loss. Shantra pays attention to communication patterns and safety concerns that affect wellbeing. She helps people build clearer communication and set healthier boundaries.

The goal is practical progress that people can notice between sessions. People who prefer calm, steady guidance and concrete tools often find Shantra’s style helpful. She supports each person’s choices and works together with them to plan achievable steps toward healthier coping and more meaningful daily life.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for addressing grief and for staying motivated through recovery from addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so the person sets the pace and priorities for change; this approach supports open, judgment-free conversation whether on video or by text.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose approaches together. That collaborative process helps match tools like mindfulness practices or motivational interviewing to the issues at hand and to the way the person prefers to communicate.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while managing daily life commitments.
