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.
