About Shonda
Shonda Hart-Wright is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice what gets in the way and try different responses. Sessions tend to concentrate on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.
Shonda draws on long experience in institutional and outpatient settings. That background informs straightforward problem solving and attention to how habits and thoughts affect behavior. She works with common patterns like impulsivity, control issues, communication breakdowns, and caregiver stress.
In sessions she helps people address practical concerns such as blended family issues, money stress, isolation, abandonment wounds, and midlife transitions. For mood-related struggles she focuses on coping skills, structure, and behavioral strategies that make daily life more manageable.
She offers support for people coping with trauma, grief, and prejudice-related stress, and helps clients explore life purpose and forgiveness. If someone wants a direct, skills-oriented path to handling anger or recurring frustration, she combines proven strategies with listening and problem solving.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that match those values. It is often useful for anger, avoidance, and motivation problems when the goal is to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. It is practical for anxiety, anger outbursts, and mood symptoms because it gives clear exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction, which can lower impulsivity and help manage frustration in the moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a while, adding ACT exercises, and practicing mindfulness skills together to see what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals use these formats to support consistent skill practice and to apply strategies in real life situations.
