About Shandria

Shandria Woodall is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, career transitions, and ADHD. Shandria writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Shandria uses practical methods in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques.

Background and approach

Sessions usually focus on small, achievable steps and on skills people can use between meetings. She brings seven years of experience in community agencies, schools, child welfare settings, and independent practice. That variety shaped a down-to-earth style that aims to be relatable and goal-oriented.

Shandria values building trust early so people feel comfortable talking about hard things. In therapy she blends listening with concrete tools. People learn ways to manage strong emotions, set boundaries, and handle family or parenting stress.

Work may include coping skills, thought work, and short-term plans to address pressing problems. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Florida. Shandria holds credentials as an LMHC and an LPC and frames progress as step-by-step work tailored to each person’s pace and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and creating a nonjudgmental space to talk. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead while offering supportive reflection and practical feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions CBT tools like thought records and behavioral experiments are easy to assign and review together. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness practices for stress, CBT for worry, or a solution-focused plan to address a specific parenting challenge. Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
