I've been with Shonda Harris for a few weeks now. She's been amazing so far. I can't wait to see how the future looks.

Reviewed January 2022

It is so helpful to have someone to talk things through after having gone through trauma. My viewpoints are often off , because my perspectives often come out of a place of woundedness. She is so good at supporting me and helping to evaluate my mindsets and thinking patterns that keep in in an unhealthy place.

More about Shonda

  • Female
  • LPC

I am an LPC-S, trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with wide range of experience. I have many years of experience working with those with mental health issues such as depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. I will help you to understand your diagnosis and how to build coping skills. I also work with individuals experiencing relationship problems, struggling to reach goals, or seeking behavioral changes.

I will help you understand the relationship of your thoughts, actions, and feelings. We will work to find what changes you want to make and how to best make that happen.

I enjoy working with diverse populations and have a non-judgmental approach. It is important to me that you feel safe and free to express yourself.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love Shonda so much. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She understands me as a woman, a Christian, and a creative. I would 100% recommend her to everyone.

Reviewed April 2021

Shonda is literally my first positive experience with counseling. I’ve tried seeing others before, but I’ve always found myself not committing to sessions. My previous experiences with counselors have felt very sterile and methodical. With Shonda, she creates a really safe environment, is clear and kind about things that are tough to hear from others (which I super need), and relates to me as a human. I’ve only had a few sessions with her thus far, but I’m looking forward to all the potential rabbit holes we’ll be diving into that I’ve been wanting to talk with someone about for so long.
