About Sudonna

Sudonna Harris is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. Sudonna also supports people coping with postpartum mood issues, compassion fatigue, career questions, and exploring life purpose.

Her practice focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions center on what is happening now, patterns that keep someone stuck, and small experiments to try between meetings. She uses familiar approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused methods to guide the process.

Sudonna pays attention to relationship patterns like attachment and abandonment, and to emotional themes such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation. She also helps people manage stress related to fertility challenges, disasters, and midlife transitions. Conversations often involve clarifying priorities, practicing new responses, and planning achievable changes.

Her style is direct and practical. Clients can expect moments of reflection, skills practice, and concrete problem solving. Sudonna encourages clear communication and gradual shifts rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are conducted in English from her Florida practice. The first step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial visit so goals and session rhythm can be discussed.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people name what matters to them. Online work with this approach focuses on open conversation, checking how things feel, and adjusting pace based on the person's feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. In remote sessions this can mean setting small experiments, reviewing homework, and practicing new responses together.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and may blend techniques over time as needs change. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant to day-to-day problems.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can help people fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and to continue care during life transitions without changing therapists.
