About Shamona
She uses straightforward conversation to build understanding about what matters most to each person. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior, recent events, and the stories people tell about themselves. Shamona draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit what each person needs, rather than pushing a single method.
Her sixteen years of work in counseling includes addressing intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and adjustment after separation or loss. She also supports people navigating identity and multicultural concerns, including LGBT issues and questions around fatherhood and parenting roles. Shamona pays attention to how isolation, body image, and workplace stress affect daily life.
Shamona aims to make therapy a practical part of life. She helps set small goals, try new coping strategies, and track what changes over time. Her sessions are collaborative, focusing on what the client wants to improve next.
Clients can expect a respectful, culturally aware approach that centers personal values and goals. Shamona invites people to talk through painful moments and to build skills for handling future transitions and ongoing stressors.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they feel understood and can choose their own direction; it helps with self-esteem, decision-making, and finding personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust plans based on what helps most over time.
