About Shawndre
Shawndre Leydon is an MA LMHC and ME LCPC practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and challenges related to trauma, grief, and addiction. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients from outside the United States.
Leydon uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build willingness to face difficult feelings while taking meaningful steps in daily life.
Attachment-Based ideas shape how she looks at repeated patterns in relationships and closeness. Client-Centered methods guide the pace of sessions so people can describe what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered for emotional regulation and reducing intense reactions when needed.
In a typical session she listens for the problem that feels most urgent at home or work. Then she and the client pick a few practical skills to try between sessions. Sessions include straightforward feedback, skill practice, and planning small experiments to test change.
People who come because parenting feels overwhelming, a relationship is strained, or past abuse still affects daily life will find clear, goal-focused conversations. She also supports those coping with sleep or eating difficulties, anger, ADHD-related struggles, and role-related stress like caregiving or career shifts.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeated relationship patterns and helps people notice how early bonds affect current reactions and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace so conversations stay relevant to real life problems.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as immediate problems shift or new concerns arise.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins around busy days, avoid travel time, and use visual or audio tools when helpful. Many people find it simpler to keep momentum between appointments when sessions fit into ordinary routines. Licensed professionals adapt the methods above to suit remote sessions and everyday life demands.
