About Shani
Shani Leal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing with people across Texas. She focuses on supporting adults through anxiety, stress, and shifts in life that feel overwhelming. Her approach aims to help people gain steadier footing and clearer next steps.
She uses an evidence-based framework and keeps sessions practical. Conversations focus on real-life skills for coping, improving relationships, and boosting self-worth. Therapy often includes working through past trauma and building tools for emotion regulation.
Background and approach
Shani pays close attention to cultural background and how it shapes each person’s story. That perspective guides how she frames goals and suggests strategies. She emphasizes empathy and respect while helping people explore identity, meaning, and values.
Many clients bring concerns such as addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, codependency, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Her practice model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with cost varying by location and therapist availability.
Evidence-based techniques offered online
Shani draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and processing difficult experiences. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it helps with day-to-day symptoms and routines. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful memories through paced, respectful conversations that aim to reduce their emotional hold and improve functioning.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That process is guided by client preference, the nature of the concern, and what feels realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls let people use face-to-face discussion when it helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make consistent progress more manageable.
