About Shonda

Shonda Hart-Wright is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses more specific struggles such as impulsivity, isolation, communication and control problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and the effects of prejudice or seasonal changes on mood. Her style is warm and client-centered, emphasizing respect and dignity for each person who seeks help.

She integrates evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques to create practical, reality-focused strategies. Motivational interviewing and a focus on solutions also inform her work, helping clients build skills to cope with life changes and pursue meaningful goals.

Shonda accepts international clients and offers sessions from Florida. She aims to empower clients through collaboration, helping them identify priorities and take steps toward improved functioning and well-being.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Shonda uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and impulsivity. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes exercises to practice new ways of thinking and behaving. She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across stress, grief, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist collaborates with each client to consider symptoms, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods and pacing to suit individual goals and comfort levels.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different therapeutic tools between meetings, and access support from Florida or from other countries when international sessions are appropriate.
