About Shonnia
Shonnia Spears, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She offers steady, nonjudgmental support and listens closely so each person feels heard. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at small steps that build confidence over time.
She uses straightforward talk and goal-focused tools to help with common struggles. These include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worry, parenting strain, and workplace or caregiving fatigue.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, and women's experiences. Shonnia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create space for each person's perspective. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new, healthier responses.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and unsure about change. Sessions are practical and collaborative. The work often focuses on coping skills, clearer thinking patterns, and short-term goals that fit daily life.
People can expect a calm, encouraging presence and concrete strategies to try between sessions. Shonnia has seven years of experience and practices in Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She provides services in English and can work with people across borders.
Getting started involves a brief questionnaire to match with her and scheduling a session that fits the person's needs.
How her approaches work online
Shonnia uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel personal and respectful. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thought work, motivational conversation, or short-term solutions and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing reminders and brief reflections. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or daily life and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
