Shonda Harris, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Shonda

Shonda Harris is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and life changes. She explains diagnoses in clear terms and focuses on practical coping skills. Her style is nonjudgmental and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel approachable for someone juggling parenting and day-to-day demands.

She uses strategies that show how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. Sessions focus on small, doable steps toward the changes a person wants.

Background and approach

That might mean practicing specific coping tools, testing new ways of thinking, or setting short-term goals and tracking progress. With 18 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of mental health concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues.

She also addresses challenges such as communication problems, commitment concerns, codependency, and blended family stress when those topics arise. Her primary methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes practical goals and quick, usable strategies. These approaches are used to build skills clients can apply between sessions.

Shonda practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Details about costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Shonda Uses Practical Therapies Online

Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then practice different responses. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and for building concrete coping skills.

She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable goals and practical changes. This approach looks at what is already working and builds brief, step-by-step plans to move forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shonda will discuss your situation and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. Together you will adjust techniques based on what helps most as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into family routines, work hours, or other commitments while keeping the focus on skills practice and real-life application.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
