Therapy for High-Functioning Anxiety & Emotional Growth
Shanley O’Keefe, LPC
Life can feel overwhelming even when you’re “doing all the things.” If you’re ready to move beyond constant stress, somatic tension, and patterns that keep you stuck, you’re in the right place.
I help adults and busy professionals - especially moms and highly motivated individuals - reduce anxiety, build resilience, and develop lasting tools for well-being, both in virtual sessions and in-person in Red Bank, NJ.
A Mind-Body Approach to Anxiety Therapy
I blend evidence-based therapy with somatic and experiential techniques to help you feel grounded in your body as you explore thoughts, beliefs, and emotional patterns. This integrated approach — combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness — supports transformation from the inside out. By learning both mental and body-based tools, you can finally feel relief instead of constant tension.
Who I work with
I specialize in working with adults experiencing:
• High-functioning anxiety
• Chronic stress and overwhelm
• Somatic tension and nervous system dysregulation
• Life transitions and identity shifts
• Challenges in self-worth or emotional connection
Whether you prefer the convenience of virtual therapy or the energy of in-person support, sessions are personalized to your goals and paced to your needs.
PRIVATE therapy SESSIONS
Virtual therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules - especially for clients juggling work, family, and life demands - while in-person sessions in Red Bank, NJ provide the grounding energy of face-to-face connection. Both formats follow the same structure of safety, support, regulation tools, and actionable skills you can use daily
I’m delighted to offer a free, 15-minute consultation call to new clients to ensure we are the right fit before you book your first session.

Anxiety Therapist
Spiritual Lifestyle Curator
My journey in self-expression began with modeling and acting in Manhattan as a child, but it was the early loss of one of my primary caregivers that sparked my love for writing as a coping skill. Experiential healing has been the central theme of my life ever since.
After graduating from Villanova University, I moved to Los Angeles as a “starving artist," but my life changed direction when I became a nanny for a little boy with Down Syndrome. This experience shifted my focus from acting to working with others, causing an unavoidable awareness.
In my 20s, I recognized I had a problem with alcohol and made the decision to become sober. This journey deepened my faith in a higher power. Raising four children has further expanded my trust in something greater. I returned to Northwestern University to earn my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am now a licensed therapist working with individuals in private practice. At the same time, I also earned my certification in life coaching where I expand clients into experiential healing.
My work is rooted in the belief that our capacity to love others cannot exceed our capacity to love ourselves.
