About Shondalea

Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked across independent practice and community mental health settings, supporting people managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, stress, ADHD, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background brings a mix of practical skills gained from those different environments to each therapeutic relationship. Shonda favors a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insights, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices to shape conversations and goals that match each person’s needs. She avoids stigmatizing labels and seeks to create an environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

Clients who value collaboration and a tailored plan may find her approach helpful for building coping strategies, improving motivation and confidence, and navigating emotional and practical changes. She encourages taking the first step toward change and offers supportive guidance throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them

Shonda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management. She also employs client-centered therapy, placing emphasis on empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard and involved in shaping their care. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and coping skills, supporting emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, preferences, and challenges and together they will try strategies that fit best, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. This partnership helps tailor treatment rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access ongoing support around work and life commitments. These options allow flexibility in scheduling, make it possible to continue care from different locations within Georgia, and let clients pick the communication style that fits their daily routine while working with a licensed professional.
