About Shonta

Shonta Harper is a licensed counselor who supports people navigating relationship strains, family conflicts, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, stress, anxiety, grief, and other life changes.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping clients strengthen self-understanding, improve communication, and build coping strategies for issues such as self-esteem, career challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and sleep difficulties. Her practice emphasizes a trauma-informed and culturally attuned stance that centers empathy and practical skill-building.

Clients work collaboratively to identify patterns that contribute to anger, codependency, control issues, or feelings of emptiness, and then develop realistic steps toward healthier interactions and a clearer sense of purpose. Shonta also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, gender identity concerns, and matters related to infidelity, jealousy, and forgiveness.

Licensed as an LPC and an LCMHC, she draws on evidence-based techniques to guide growth and resilience. Shonta offers flexible formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and schedules for people seeking change and support in Georgia and beyond.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online



Shonta commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional insight. One approach emphasizes trauma-informed work that helps clients understand how past experiences affect current relationships and stress responses, and then builds coping strategies to reduce reactivity and promote safety in relationships. Another approach centers on skills for managing anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and daily functioning by teaching organization, emotional regulation, and behavioral strategies to improve focus and reduce overwhelm.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which techniques align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and adjusts methods over time to support progress and skill generalization.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, allowing licensed professionals to tailor rhythm and frequency to each client’s needs.
