About Shayna
Shayna Rayman is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people facing life stresses. She combines listening with focused strategies to address relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, anxiety, and depression. Shayna aims to make conversations feel straightforward and respectful so parents and caregivers can talk through urgent problems without jargon.
She holds licenses in Florida and Illinois as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).
Background and approach
Shayna draws on 11 years of professional experience to shape treatment plans around each person’s situation. She adapts what she does to fit what a client needs that week rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, and she also uses EMDR when trauma processing is helpful.
That mix lets her address both how someone thinks and how past events still affect them today. Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client’s goals guide the pace and focus. Shayna emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
She works to create space for honest talk about parenting pressures, intimacy-related worries, and struggles with self-esteem or addictions. Her style is direct but warm, helping people identify clear steps forward. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
Scheduling then follows based on the therapist’s availability and the client’s preferences.
How Shayna's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person’s own goals and values. Sessions emphasize listening, reflecting, and helping clients decide what matters most so they can set achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and reactions. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge. It is used when past events continue to cause strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shayna collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they can combine listening-based support with practical tools or trauma processing when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. The range of formats also allows people to choose the way of communicating that feels most natural for them, while keeping treatment consistent across different situations.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
