About Shonta

Shonta Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) working in Georgia with ten years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, career stress, grief, addiction, and sleeping problems.

Her style is direct and practical. She talks through relationship patterns and communication habits. She helps people spot what fuels their anger and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than theory alone.

Shonta pays attention to trauma and cultural context when it matters to a person's story. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues like social anxiety, trauma, and identity concerns. That means using strategies that match the problem at hand and adjusting them as progress is made.

She has worked with veterans and women and brings that experience into conversations about intimacy, caregiving stress, and life transitions. She also addresses topics like codependency, forgiveness, and career-related distress. The aim is to strengthen practical skills for everyday situations.

People who see her can expect straightforward feedback, focus on concrete skills, and collaborative planning between sessions. She helps clients set goals, practice new responses, and re-evaluate what’s working. The result is usually clearer choices and less reactivity in tense moments.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and remote care

Shonta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying the thoughts and situations that trigger strong emotions. That method teaches practical tools for noticing patterns and testing new responses, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems.

Another approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral changes. This includes practicing short exercises in session and setting simple goals to try between meetings. Those steps are intended to reduce reactivity and build more effective communication in tense moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match techniques to their needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. The client and therapist decide together which strategies to use and when to change them.

If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel for appointments. Many people find remote sessions help keep momentum between meetings and integrate new skills into daily life.
