About Shondalea
Shondalea "Shonda" Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings. Shonda helps people with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, sleep difficulties, and blended family issues. Other areas she notices often include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and struggles with guilt or shame. The writing of a plan begins with straightforward conversations about what is most urgent for the person in the room.
Shonda uses clear, practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral, client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes and practice them between meetings. She adjusts the focus depending on whether someone needs short-term problem solving or a longer look at patterns that repeat.
Her style is interactive and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and pays attention to how people describe their own difficulties. That practical attention guides each session and the goals people set together.
People who contact Shonda usually want plain talk, specific strategies, and a steady place to work through transitions. She asks about what is already working in someone’s life and builds from there.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to sort through what matters and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers specific exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress because it includes practical skills and homework to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It pairs well with other approaches when someone wants tools for calming or staying present in tense moments.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick approaches that fit the person's goals, comfort level, and the issues they want to address. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or with different pace and timing to match a person's schedule.
