About Shonda
Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong feelings and get back to daily life. She supports people facing anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and relationship stress. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at small, steady changes people can use right away.
Shonda uses clear talk and step-by-step tools to help clients notice how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. She helps people build coping skills and set reachable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on specific problems and on habits that get in the way of feeling better. With 18 years of experience working in Texas, Shonda has tended to mood disorders, grief, trauma, and problems that come from family patterns. She also addresses issues like impulsivity, commitment concerns, and life transitions.
Her experience includes supporting people facing identity and intimacy-related concerns and those navigating blended family dynamics. Shonda blends practical methods with a nonjudgmental, respectful approach. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and explore change at their own pace.
Her counseling is driven by real-world steps rather than long theory talks. Clients typically leave sessions with clear next steps and simple skills to practice between meetings. Whether someone needs short-term help to solve a problem or longer-term work on mood and behavior patterns, she focuses on what will make daily life feel more manageable.

Approaches Shonda lists

How her approaches translate to online care
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skill practice, which can be done in sessions and applied between meetings to manage anger, anxiety, or mood swings.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and find small steps that lead to change. This approach centers on what is working now and builds brief, focused plans for improving daily routines and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She talks with clients about their goals and preferences, then suggests techniques that match those aims. The plan can shift over time as needs change, and decisions are made together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises, phone calls are good for check-ins when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can help with short notes, skill reminders, or quick problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent work going even when life is busy.
