01About Shonda
Shonda Harris welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. Shonda focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to handle daily demands.
She uses straightforward methods that link thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions are aimed at building coping skills and making small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She supports people managing mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Shonda pairs cognitive behavioral techniques with a solution-focused mindset. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors.
Then she and the client pick concrete, short-term goals and track progress together. Her work also addresses family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and the stresses faced by caregivers. She helps with life purpose questions, career worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
The approach stays practical and goal-oriented while allowing space to process strong emotions. Sessions can include skill-building exercises, behavioral experiments, and focused problem-solving. Shonda aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can speak freely and try new ways of coping.
The emphasis is on useful tools that fit everyday life.

04Online support
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically include identifying thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing simple skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, concrete goals. That approach focuses on strengths and small steps that move a person toward what they want, which can be useful for relationship concerns, career decisions, or coping with life transitions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are partners in deciding whether to emphasize CBT techniques, solution-focused steps, or a mix of both.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a better fit for short check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging allow ongoing check-ins and quick skill reminders between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
