About Shonnia
Shonnia Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Shonnia uses straightforward listening and practical conversation to help people notice patterns that get in the way. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking and behavior habits that drive anger and anxiety.
Her work often involves short-term, goal-focused ideas alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions can include small experiments, clearer problem definitions, and step-by-step plans to manage reactions in daily life. Those tools are commonly applied to parenting stress, workplace frustration, and relationship tension.
Shonnia also pays attention to cultural background, adoption and foster care issues, and concerns specific to women and young adults. She frames therapy as a practical process of learning new responses and testing what works in real situations. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Shonnia uses client-centered therapy to place the person's goals at the center of each session. That approach means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anger, anxiety, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, testable parts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about priorities, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to move from identifying what's happening to practicing different responses in daily life.
