About Shamona
Shamona McFadden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, career questions, and other life changes. Sessions address practical problems such as communication issues, impulsivity, and self-esteem concerns.
She focuses on helping people gain clearer self-understanding and more effective habits. That can mean noticing patterns that lead to explosive reactions, trying new ways to respond in tense moments, or building steadier routines that reduce daily pressure. She also supports people dealing with cultural or identity-related concerns, including LGBT issues and multicultural stressors.
Her work uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversation and skill-building. In practice that looks like short-term goal setting, examining the stories someone tells about themselves, and testing small behavior changes between sessions. Conversations are practical and focused on what someone can try next.
Shamona brings experience addressing family-related topics such as parenting, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and intimacy concerns, while also working with issues like body image, isolation, and anger. She pays attention to how cultural background and life stage affect reactions and choices.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Shamona often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open conversation and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps people clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce unhelpful reactions like angry outbursts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying certain techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice new skills in everyday settings and bring examples from real life into the conversation.
