About Shondalea

Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on workplace wellbeing and everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and sleep problems. Shonda aims to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She has practiced in private settings and community mental health. That background means she has worked with many people facing life changes, motivation struggles, and recurring mood concerns. Shonda emphasizes a warm, interactive style that treats people with respect and compassion.

In sessions she avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the person over the problem. Conversations are tailored to the individual, and she combines different approaches to fit each person's needs. You can expect a mix of practical talk, reflection, and goal-focused steps.

Shonda uses elements from cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches. She and the client shape a plan together and adjust it as progress is made. The aim is realistic change that fits daily life and work demands.

Shonda encourages people who are ready to try therapy to take that step. The practice supports people wanting clearer coping skills, better self-understanding, and more stable routines around work and wellbeing.

Approaches used online to support work and wellbeing

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead to build understanding and confidence. It helps when someone needs more acceptance and clearer self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and uses practical exercises to build new habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep trouble. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations to lower reactivity and improve focus at work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily demands. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels sustainable for the client.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around a busy job, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, or avoid travel time. It can also let someone use quieter surroundings or reduce screen time by choosing an audio session if that better fits their day. Licensed professionals aim to make therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on realistic changes for work and wellbeing.
