Shonnia Spears , LPC

Shonnia Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping women sort through stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens first, aiming to help each person notice strengths and make steady progress. Her style is calm and encouraging, and she helps people build coping tools they can use day to day.

Shonnia uses straightforward methods rooted in client-centered care. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works with each person to set realistic goals. When appropriate she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns that get in the way and to try small behavior changes.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to make changes. Solution-focused techniques help keep sessions practical by highlighting what’s already working and scaling it up. These approaches are useful for concerns like ADHD, relationship stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

Shonnia has seven years of experience and practices in Texas. She pays particular attention to multicultural factors, adoption and foster care issues, and worries that come with young adulthood. Women’s issues are a named focus, and she brings that perspective when people want it.

Sessions are offered in English and Shonnia accepts international clients. She aims to make therapy fit each person’s life, helping with small steps, skills practice, and building confidence over time.

Practical approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects back what she hears, and helps people name goals that matter to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It breaks problems into small steps and tries practical changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or fit a short check-in during a break at work. These options give flexibility for scheduling and let people choose what feels most practical for their situation.
