About Shonta
Shonta Harper is a licensed counselor who helps people navigate relationship problems, anxiety, ADHD challenges, grief, and stress. She uses a practical, straightforward style that focuses on what’s happening now and what can change. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, better boundaries, and stronger self-understanding.
Shonta draws on ten years of experience as an LPC and LCMHC. She works with clients on career concerns, self-esteem, addiction-related issues, and intimacy struggles.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on breaking problems into manageable steps so progress feels steady and realistic. Many clients come for help with coping during life transitions. She offers coaching-style guidance when people want concrete tools for time management, goal setting, and improving daily routines.
Practical skills are paired with attention to emotional patterns that keep old habits in place. Shonta uses a trauma-informed, culturally aware lens when supporting people from diverse backgrounds. That means noticing how past hurts, identity, and social stressors affect relationships and mood.
She focuses on building resilience while respecting each person’s story. In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and small behavior changes. People leave with short-term plans they can test between meetings.
Over time those tests help create larger shifts in confidence and connection. Her practice supports those facing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, codependency, gender dysphoria, veteran and armed forces concerns, and other challenges listed in her specialties. Shonta offers help in English and sees international clients when that fits the needs of the person seeking support.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Shonta uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes skills training and behavioral strategies to help with attention, organization, sleep, and daily routines; this approach breaks tasks into small, testable steps to improve functioning. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences and trauma in a careful, paced way so people can reduce overwhelm and build coping tools for anxiety, grief, and past hurts.Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Sessions are collaborative so people can shape the focus and pace as they learn what works for them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and structured exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or texting lets people check in between meetings or use brief coaching-style support when a full session isn't possible. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
