Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen

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 helping people with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems, ADHD concerns, and coping with life changes. She aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and respectful.

Shonda keeps a warm, interactive style in sessions. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. Her manner is straightforward - she listens, asks questions, and helps clients name the problems they want to change.

Her approach blends several methods to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support moment-to-moment coping and motivation.

Shonda designs treatment plans with the individual in mind. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, handling stress, raising confidence, or managing life transitions. She works to keep plans realistic and relevant to the client’s everyday routine.

Many people come to her feeling stuck or overwhelmed by change. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through big decisions and small steps. If someone is ready to begin, Shonda guides the process gently and collaboratively.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Shonda commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques when helping people online. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioral work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors and coping skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Shonda will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration can include trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online therapy helps fit counseling into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can make shorter check-ins and weekly skill practice easier to maintain, and it lets clients bring real-life examples from their day into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
