About Shontrice

Shontrice Hansen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Her work also covers trauma, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor each plan to a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting.

Background and approach

Client-Centered methods create a space where the client’s goals guide the work. Shontrice has experience in both individual and family settings and has worked with a wide range of struggles including behavioral problems, relational conflicts, and traumatic events. She also focuses on adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, attention concerns, and self-harm issues. Sessions may include straightforward skill-building, short-term solution-focused planning, and narrative work that helps clients reframe difficult stories from their past. She aims to help people find practical steps toward growth and healthier relationships without overwhelming them with jargon.

Shontrice practices in Tennessee and offers sessions in English. Her listed credential details are AR LPC P1812157 and TN LPC 4761. She provides several online session formats to fit different schedules.

Practical approaches and online options for family and parenting challenges

Shontrice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pacing, creating space for honesty and gradual change. Narrative Therapy offers a way to reframe hard experiences and separate a person from the labels they carry, which can be helpful after trauma or during big life transitions.

Choosing an approach is often a shared decision. The therapist will listen to the client’s immediate needs, preferences, and goals and then suggest methods to try. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change, keeping the work practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling around busy family life and help maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. Using different formats also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and stay connected as needs evolve.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
