Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen, LPC

Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings, helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.

Shonda keeps sessions warm and interactive. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person's needs.

She uses a mix of methods including cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means working on unhelpful thinking patterns, building everyday habits, and finding practical steps that fit daily life.

Shonda is comfortable addressing concerns such as stress, sleep problems, attention difficulties, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. She also works with issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness or pain, communication and control struggles, and grief around separation or divorce.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than labels. She helps people set goals, try small changes between sessions, and notice what works and what doesn’t so they can move toward a more manageable and satisfying life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach aim to make people feel heard and respected while they talk through current struggles and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work this often means setting concrete, short-term tasks and reviewing progress together to build healthier everyday habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and body sensations. These exercises can be brief and easy to practice between online sessions to help with stress, sleep, and concentration.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Most people try an approach, see what helps, and refine their plan together with the therapist.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or reducing the need to arrange childcare. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how sessions can best fit your routine.
