Shandria Woodall, LMHC, LPC

Shandria Woodall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, anger, career worries, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also focuses on family of origin issues and related patterns that affect current relationships.

She has worked in non-profit organizations, schools as a school-based therapist, the child-welfare system, and private practice. That varied background informs practical ways she talks through problems and sets goals. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long theory-heavy talks.

Her style is client-centered, meaning conversations follow the person's concerns and priorities. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on Solution-Focused approaches to map concrete next steps. Mindfulness ideas are used to help with stress and grounding in everyday moments.

For people dealing with family of origin issues, she listens for recurring roles, expectations, and communication patterns that still shape adult life. She helps name those patterns, test small changes, and practice different ways of relating. Parents who feel stuck with old family expectations are offered straightforward strategies to reduce conflict and improve boundaries.

Shandria uses motivational interviewing when someone needs help clarifying goals or building commitment to change. She combines these methods to match each person's situation and pace. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her experience working across community and school settings in Florida.
