About Shontel
Shontel Taylor Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches work with a straightforward, supportive style that centers the client's story and strengths.
She sees clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them build on what already works. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to handle overwhelming feelings. Shontel supports people who want better coping skills, steadier relationships, and more confidence day to day.
Her background includes a range of clinical settings across a 12-year career in Texas. That experience informs a flexible approach to common problems like anxiety and stress. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps clients try different strategies. This often involves setting small, manageable goals and practicing new ways of responding to old triggers. Progress is measured in concrete changes rather than labels.
Shontel also addresses issues tied to family of origin, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. She supports people working through body image, control issues, and forgiveness.
If someone wants to start, the usual first steps are a short questionnaire and a scheduling conversation to match needs with available times. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Shontel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - simple strategies to manage panic symptoms and reduce overwhelm in daily life. Another frequently used method targets patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice interaction habits and try different responses to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, avoid travel time, and check in from wherever you are located. It can also allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and makes it possible for licensed professionals to work with clients who live in different places. Those practical benefits are often useful for people managing panic symptoms and ongoing anxiety.
