About Shonda

Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical skill building. She writes plainly and listens with a nonjudgmental attitude.

With 18 years of experience, Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversations and plan steps forward. She helps clients see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then practices new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize building coping skills and realistic strategies for everyday challenges.

Shonda has worked with people managing co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder, addictions, and trauma or abuse. She also addresses family of origin issues, blended family concerns, attachment and abandonment challenges, and separation or divorce-related stress. Her work often centers on clearer communication and setting personal goals.

Her style is practical and supportive. She helps clients identify the changes they want and maps out small, manageable steps to get there. Conversations are kept direct, focused on skills you can use between sessions.

Shonda practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She encourages prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire to match on goals before scheduling. The process is intended to make it easier to start working toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How her approaches guide online work

Shonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to change mood and stress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what is already working and builds small, practical steps toward clear goals, which can be useful for relationship issues and life transitions like separation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Shonda works together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative planning helps shape what happens in sessions and what skills are practiced between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care across routine changes while focusing on the same practical skills and goal-setting used in in-person work.
