Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen, LPC

Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings. Shonda helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She encourages courage in taking the first step toward therapy and aims to make beginning that process easier.

Shonda keeps her style warm and interactive. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Her approach avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on each person as an individual.

In practice she combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness when those fit a person's needs. This lets her tailor conversations and plans to what each person actually faces.

Shonda works with a range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including stress, ADHD, sleep problems, body image, chronic pain or illness, and issues around attachment and abandonment. She also addresses relationship communication, divorce and separation, and the emotional impact of fertility or family changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. She helps people set goals, try small changes, and notice what makes a difference. Her focus is on practical steps and supportive dialogue to help people move toward a more manageable life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and validating a person's experience. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to talk and be understood, and it supports growth at the person's own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with health challenges because it emphasizes tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions proceed.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have regular check-ins when that suits daily life. It can also allow shorter or more frequent appointments to match needs, or phone-based check-ins when lower bandwidth or a quicker touchpoint is preferred.
