About Shondalea
Shondalea "Shonda" Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings helping people with anxiety, depression, motivation, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Shonda also focuses on sleep and rest concerns and on attention-related struggles such as ADHD.
Her approach is warm and interactive. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. She avoids labeling and treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Shonda combines several practical methods to fit each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thought and behavior patterns and person-centered or client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to the individual. She also draws on solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they help clarify patterns and next steps.
Sessions are collaborative and goal minded. Shonda tailors the dialogue and plan to each person's situation, focusing on manageable steps and clearer daily routines. She encourages small changes that can improve sleep, reduce stress, and increase confidence.
Taking the first step can feel hard and she acknowledges that courage. If someone is ready to begin, she offers supportive guidance aimed at practical progress and emotional relief.
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It uses open conversation and reflective listening to help someone understand feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try new, practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep habits.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin by exploring what the person wants to change and then testing approaches that feel useful in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue progress between in-person visits if that suits their life. The therapist and client will discuss practical details and pick session patterns that help work on sleep routines, stress reduction, and other goals while fitting into everyday routines.
