Shonda Harris , LPC

Shonda Harris is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with clients who face life changes, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, mood disorders, and questions around intimacy and self-esteem. Shonda speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel direct and useful from the start.

Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear, doable steps toward goals. Sessions usually focus on practical skills you can use between meetings.

Her practice emphasizes coping skills and behavioral changes. That can mean building routines for mood management, strategies for attention and impulsivity linked to ADHD, or tools to reduce anxiety and stress. Shonda also addresses grief, trauma, and family of origin issues in individual work.

Shonda brings 18 years of experience as an LPC in Texas. She describes a nonjudgmental style and aims to create a space where clients can speak openly. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people decide what change looks like and how to get there.

Therapy sessions may include discussion of communication skills, commitment or codependency concerns, and problem-solving for blended family or caregiving stress. She supports clients exploring life purpose, career direction, and handling intense emotions like anger or emptiness.

How Shonda’s Approaches Work Online

Shonda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on specific skills, such as breaking cycles of anxiety or testing thoughts that lead to low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and helps clients identify small, practical steps toward a chosen goal and build momentum from what already works.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text sessions support quick updates or ongoing, written reflection. These options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
