About Shatonya
Shatonya Craddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, and compassion fatigue. Shatonya speaks English and practices in Texas.
She frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during sessions. Her style draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means she may help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and improve emotional connection in relationships.
For people navigating blended household challenges she can assist with communication problems, loyalty conflicts, and merging routines. She also works on attachment concerns, commitment doubts, infidelity, and the stress caregivers face. The focus is on practical steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on problems the client brings. Expect collaborative goal-setting, skills you can practice between meetings, and regular check-ins about progress. Shatonya emphasizes building confidence and motivation while addressing barriers that get in the way of change.
To start, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shatonya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships and blended household roles.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for managing mood, reducing worry, and addressing negative self-beliefs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs work on emotional connection and understanding what drives strong reactions in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and suggest which methods to try. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively and adjust methods over time based on what helps.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not needed. It can also let someone take part from a quieter setting, avoid video when wanted, or fit a session into a lunch break. Licensed professionals tailor the plan so therapy fits everyday life and goals.
