About Shonda
Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely to find practical steps that can ease day-to-day difficulties. Many people come to her worried about panic, mood swings, or trouble concentrating, and she focuses on clear, doable strategies rather than jargon.
With 18 years of experience in Texas, Shonda has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma and grief. She also helps those working through relationship struggles, parenting strain, or career uncertainty. Her approach centers on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and on building coping skills that fit a person’s life.
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She helps clients spot thought patterns that increase anxiety and then tests small changes to reduce their impact. Solution-Focused work concentrates on concrete goals and the small steps that lead to real progress.
She describes herself as non-judgmental and values straightforward conversation. In sessions she and the client identify what needs to change and then try practical tools to get there. This can mean practicing new responses, tracking moods, or setting short-term action plans.
Shonda aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant. She encourages people to name a few clear goals and test different strategies until something fits. Her focus is on helping people build skills they can use outside the therapy room.
How cognitive and solution-focused work translate online
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practice small changes to reduce anxiety or panic. This approach is useful for managing worry, panic symptoms, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by narrowing attention to specific goals and the small, measurable steps that move a person toward those goals.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try methods that fit those priorities. Sessions often start with a simple plan and adapt based on what helps most in real life.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Others appreciate being able to use tools like mood tracking or short behavioral experiments between appointments to keep progress moving.
