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. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Shonda listens for what matters most to each person and talks through practical steps people can try between sessions. She combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic ideas to shape conversations. Sessions tend to be interactive and geared toward concrete concerns like motivation, confidence, or adjusting after a change.
In practice she avoids labels that stigmatize and treats people with respect and sensitivity. She helps people look at unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and notice how thinking and feelings affect daily routines. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down stress and support better sleep when appropriate.
Shonda also addresses relational themes such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and issues that can follow separation or divorce. She works with concerns linked to body image, chronic pain or illness, fertility, eating and food-related problems, and feelings of guilt or shame.
People who reach out can expect a plainspoken, interactive approach that focuses on next steps. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and practical options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and motivation challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and helping people set their own goals. That approach supports work on self-esteem and decision-making.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest which methods might fit best. Together they will adjust techniques and pacing based on what is working and what the person wants to accomplish.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practice strategies between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to an online setting to focus on concrete steps and coping strategies.
