About Shayna
Shayna Rayman is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical support for people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and issues around addiction and intimacy. Shayna aims to meet people where they are and speaks plainly about next steps.
Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered methods to shape conversations around each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns that get in the way and to build new coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for trauma-related concerns when appropriate. Shayna emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.
She works with clients to design a plan that fits their day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term tools, and steady progress rather than jargon. Parents who feel overwhelmed by behavior, boundaries, or family stress can expect concrete strategies and calmer routines.
For grief or trauma, sessions move at a pace set by the client and include ways to manage strong emotions between meetings. Her dual licensure as a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor and an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor informs a range of clinical settings and approaches. Shayna uses straightforward communication to help people take realistic steps toward change.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, checking in about goals and adjusting pace or topics each week to match needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps. Online CBT often uses brief skill-building exercises between sessions and structured conversations during video or phone meetings to practice new habits.
EMDR addresses trauma-related memories and strong emotional reactions. When appropriate, EMDR techniques can be adapted for remote sessions with careful planning and pacing to ensure the client feels supported.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern, and then recommend methods to try. Clients and the therapist reassess as progress is made to ensure the approach fits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and interactive tools, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging is helpful for short updates or between-session support. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy family and work routines.
