Shonda Harris, LPC

Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or big life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and concerns about self-esteem and direction in life.

Shonda emphasizes the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions aim to find small, achievable changes that fit a person’s daily life.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions goal-oriented and practical. She breaks problems into steps and uses concrete strategies to address them. This approach can be helpful for mood disorders, impulse control, and navigating relationship or family stress.

Shonda describes her style as nonjudgmental and direct. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and works to create a space where they can speak openly. The focus is on collaborative planning and actionable strategies that move clients toward their goals.

People who want clear tools for changing thoughts and habits may find her approach useful. She encourages clients to test small changes, review what works, and adjust plans as needed. The result is therapy that centers on real-life improvements rather than abstract theories.

How Shonda Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT often involves setting small experiments and practicing new habits between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work practical and goal-oriented. That approach focuses on strengths and on identifying concrete next steps that move a person toward their goals rather than dwelling on the past.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans together as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefit is flexibility - online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Different formats can make sessions easier when video is difficult or when a shorter meeting is helpful to maintain momentum.
