About Shonda
Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She sees adults coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship strain. She also helps people managing life changes, parenting stress, and blended family issues.
Shonda uses clear, skills-based methods. She explains how thoughts, actions, and feelings link together and teaches concrete coping strategies. Sessions focus on what a person can change now and practical steps to get there.
Her work often centers on goal-setting and short-term strategies that produce visible routines and behaviors. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Solution-Focused Therapy to map small, early wins. That mix is aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning.
Shonda supports people dealing with relationship problems, commitment worries, codependency, and communication breakdowns. She also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns tied to family of origin and current relationships. Conversations are direct and focused on next steps rather than lengthy theory.
People who prefer straightforward, practical sessions tend to do well with her approach. She asks about current routines and obstacles, then builds simple tools to try between meetings. This profile reflects her Texas LPC credential and 18 years of clinical experience.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Shonda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term skill building, which can work well when a person wants clear steps to try between meetings.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable goals and what is already working. This approach helps when the priority is quick improvements in routines, communication, or managing stress in a blended household.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means she may emphasize skill practice, short goal cycles, or a mix depending on what fits.
