About Shonda
Shonda Harris is an LPC with 18 years of clinical experience practicing in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. She also helps people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and problems connected to family and attachment.
Shonda explains how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. She uses that understanding to help people build concrete coping skills. Sessions often focus on setting small goals and trying new behaviors between meetings.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. With CBT she looks at unhelpful thinking and tests different responses. With solution-focused work she helps people identify immediate steps toward the outcomes they want.
Shonda has long experience working with mood disorders and ADHD and with people managing life changes. She offers practical strategies for impulse control, communication problems, and blended family stress. Many clients work on parenting challenges, caregiver strain, or boundaries with family of origin.
In sessions she and the client decide on goals and monitor progress. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented. She encourages trying small experiments between sessions to see what makes a real difference.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and managing ADHD symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps someone can take right away to change a problem or reach a goal.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shonda will ask about your needs, goals, and what you prefer, then suggest ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the listing does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work by removing travel and shortening check-ins when needed. They also let a licensed professional guide practical skill-building and homework so sessions focus on what is useful in daily life.
