About Shaniece
Shaniece Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Shaniece focuses on how patterns from early family life continue to affect relationships and daily functioning.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people name what is happening and notice repeated roles or expectations they carry from their upbringing. Sessions include talking through difficult memories, practicing clearer ways to ask for needs, and learning small skills to calm anxiety or reduce urges linked to addiction. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what feels useful.
Shaniece pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, and blended family dynamics when relevant. She also helps with long-term health concerns such as chronic pain or cancer related stress, and with communication and control issues that come from family patterns. Her practice addresses both emotional symptoms and practical day-to-day problems.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and set short, manageable goals. Shaniece layers listening with concrete strategies so sessions move beyond talk. She discusses options and adjusts the pace based on each person’s needs and comfort.
People who choose her often want clearer boundaries, less reactivity around family members, or ways to stop repeating old patterns. To get started she asks people to describe their present concern and what they hope to change in early sessions.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Shaniece draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address recurring family patterns and mood symptoms. One approach focuses on recognizing attachment and abandonment patterns by mapping how early relationships affect current reactions; this helps people notice triggers and try different responses. Another approach uses practical skills training to reduce anxiety and manage addictive urges, teaching short exercises and communication scripts that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shaniece will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what helps most. She works collaboratively so the strategy reflects each person's needs and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on emotional patterns into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time so regular practice is possible. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep therapy consistent with everyday life and responsibilities.
