She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings, helping people with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, motivation, and life transitions.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on open, judgment-free conversation where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting.

Shonda blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are added when they fit the situation.

She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. This flexibility helps when working on concerns like eating and food-related issues, body image, sleep problems, ADHD, and coping with chronic illness.

Shonda welcomes direct conversation about goals and practical steps. She helps people set realistic changes and build skills for everyday life. If you want a collaborative counselor who listens and adjusts the approach to your needs, she aims to provide that support.

How Shonda’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective, offering space to be heard and understood while the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps when someone needs validation and support as they sort out what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and difficulties with eating and food-related issues by teaching skills to manage day-to-day reactions.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple exercises to calm the mind and notice patterns without immediate reaction. It can help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what methods fit your needs and preferences, and adjusts the plan as you make progress. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to apply them to real-life goals.
