About Shonnia

Shonnia Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, and life changes. She meets people where they are and listens without judgment. Her goal is to help clients feel seen and able to take practical steps forward.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help clients set achievable goals and stay motivated between sessions. Her practice is suited to people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, or workplace burnout. She also supports those facing multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges related to LGBT identity and women’s issues.

Shonnia has seven years of experience working with adults and young adults. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for online sessions and practical change

Shonnia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore what matters to them. This approach helps people clarify values and find motivation for change.

She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with focus or daily routines because it emphasizes concrete skills and short-term experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges and then try methods that fit the client's needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for full-session conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit care into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
