Shonda Harris, LPC

Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She presents clear, practical strategies so clients can cope with daily strain and emotional overwhelm. Her approach aims to help people make steady changes rather than quick fixes. With 18 years of experience, Shonda draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps clients build concrete coping skills. Work in sessions often centers on small, achievable steps toward the changes a person wants. Shonda has spent many years supporting people with depression, bipolar mood disorders, ADHD, and addiction-related concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, family of origin and blended family concerns, grief, and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and aims to create a space where people can speak openly. Sessions focus on finding practical solutions and testing new ways of responding to old patterns. The tone is direct and collaborative, with goals set together. Based in Texas, Shonda works in English and does not take international clients. She asks new clients to use a brief matching questionnaire to begin and schedules sessions from there.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and focuses on setting short-term goals and small steps to get measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, listen to what matters most, and try methods that match your needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the plan fits your life and priorities.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid camera use when that feels better. Confirm current session options with the provider when you schedule.
