About Shonda
Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strains, and related mood concerns. She also focuses on family of origin issues and attachment-related patterns.
Shonda uses clear, practical language in sessions. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and shows straightforward ways to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions include building coping skills, organizing steps toward goals, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means some sessions look at how thinking affects mood and behavior, and other sessions concentrate on identifying specific goals and next steps. Both approaches aim to give tools people can use between meetings.
Shonda has worked with many people managing persistent mood symptoms and attention differences. She supports clients who want clearer communication, steadier emotion regulation, or help sorting complicated family histories. She also helps people facing life transitions, burnout, and career concerns.
In practical terms, sessions move at a measured pace. She helps clients pick one or two changes to try, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. Readers should confirm current session options before booking a first appointment.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts influence feelings and behavior; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching practical coping skills. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear goals and simple next steps, which can be useful for relationship concerns, life changes, and problem-solving.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest whether CBT, solution-focused work, or a blend is the best match. Clients collaborate on what to try and how to measure progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins that work around work or caregiving responsibilities. They also let people practice tools in their everyday context and then discuss what worked at the next meeting.
