About Shonda
Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for busy parents. Sessions are geared toward clear steps you can try between meetings.
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. That helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small changes that move you toward your goals. Shonda works with people coping with life changes, grief, addictions, ADHD, mood concerns such as bipolar, and intimacy or relationship struggles. She also supports those facing family problems, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and issues around commitment and communication.
Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She helps people set realistic steps, practice new skills, and track progress. Meetings emphasize what you want to change and how to get there.
Based in Texas, she offers flexible online session formats so you can fit help into a busy schedule. The focus is practical problem solving and building coping skills that make daily life easier.

How Shonda’s Approaches Work Online
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That approach focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and centers on small, practical steps toward clear goals rather than dwelling on problems. This helps when parents want quick, doable changes to improve daily routines or communication.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your situation and goals, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan over time so techniques match your needs and timetable rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into a busy parenting schedule. Video calls let you work face to face when you want deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you need a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, quick strategies, or when you want written reflections you can reread. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward your goals.
