Shondalea 'Shonda' JensenLPC

Shondalea "Shonda" Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in private practice and community mental health settings. Shonda focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, and sleep difficulties. She aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

Her approach is warm and interactive. She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and build a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping skills. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Shonda also draws on elements of psychodynamic and solution-focused work to tailor sessions to each person. That means she pays attention to patterns from the past while keeping goals for the present and near future in view. Conversations and plans are adjusted to fit what matters most to the client.

In sessions she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She often combines practical exercises with reflective discussion so people can practice changes between meetings. Clients leave with concrete steps to try and a clearer sense of what growth looks like.

If you are facing pregnancy or childbirth related concerns among other life stressors, Shonda includes those topics in her work when they arise. She guides people through change with encouragement and practical strategies.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Shonda uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on listening, empathy, and responding to what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through current worries and life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete tools to manage anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Shonda will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress and priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can allow for shorter check-ins on a lunch break, avoid travel time, or reduce the need for a lengthy commute. It can also let people pick a setting that feels more comfortable for talking through sensitive issues. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
