About Shantia
Shantia uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and understood before moving into skills-based work. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new, practical responses. This combination is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.
Her background includes supporting people with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues around identity and intimacy. She also helps with grief, addiction-related worries, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Work with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, and communication problems is also part of her focus.
In sessions she favors clear goals and small steps. Solution-focused elements are used to spotlight immediate strengths and workable next moves. Existential ideas are incorporated when clients want to clarify values, purpose, or meaning in difficult seasons.
Shantia offers counseling in English and practices from Texas. Starting therapy involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Shantia often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist spends time understanding a person’s experience and priorities, then follows their lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thought and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to a client’s current needs and values.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and supports working on practical skills between sessions.
