About Shonnia

Shonnia Spears is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns. She emphasizes listening, understanding, and encouraging clients to recognize their strengths while guiding them through change at a comfortable pace.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on meeting people where they are and supporting steady progress toward greater wellbeing. With seven years of clinical experience, Spears creates a nonjudgmental atmosphere that aims to reduce shame and foster self-discovery.

She works collaboratively to identify practical coping strategies for grief, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem issues. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, women’s issues, young adult issues, and LGBT-related matters.

Sessions incorporate evidence-based methods to help clients build skills and move toward meaningful goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and content of work; it is helpful for building self-awareness and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing stress. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and increasing intrinsic motivation to take steps toward goals.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of techniques best aligns with their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are shaped together so strategies evolve as progress is made and circumstances shift.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while allowing therapists to use interactive tools and homework between sessions to reinforce progress.
