Shonda Harris, LPC

Shonda Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, and life changes.

Shonda uses straightforward, skills-based work. She helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. From there she and the client pick practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her core methods include cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. That means sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and setting concrete goals. She aims for short-term, actionable progress alongside deeper work when needed.

Clients can expect clear explanations about diagnoses and coping skills. Shonda talks through pacing, homework, and steps to practice between sessions. She emphasizes problem solving for relationship problems, communication difficulties, impulsivity, and issues tied to family of origin.

Her background includes many years treating mood disorders and anxiety-related concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment themes, blended family adjustment, caregiver stress, codependency, and co-morbidity of mental health conditions. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a practical, no-nonsense style.
