About Shaniece
Shaniece Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and codependency. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment and communication problems, abandonment, and blended family issues.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps rather than abstract talk. Shaniece helps people notice how they fall into people-pleasing, get stuck trying to control others, or lose themselves in relationships. She works with clients to build better boundaries, practice clearer communication, and manage overwhelming emotions.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on trauma, mood, and relationship patterns. Shaniece applies approaches that break down problems into manageable parts and teach skills people can use between sessions. Clients can expect conversational sessions that include reflection and action plans.
Shaniece brings attention to cultural context and life experience when talking through issues. She supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strains, or the stress that comes from major life transitions. Her work includes addressing the ways addiction and codependent patterns affect daily life.
People who choose her often want practical tools for clearer communication, less reactivity, and firmer boundaries. To begin she asks about daily routines, relationships, and what feels most urgent, then suggests a few steps to try and reviews progress in follow-up sessions.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Shaniece draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and patterns. One approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful behavior patterns by breaking them into steps and practicing new responses. This helps with anxiety, codependent behaviors, and communication problems. Another common technique teaches emotion regulation and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm and manage trauma reactions, useful for people who get easily flooded by stress.Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will review what feels most pressing, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on how the client responds. That gives room to try practical tools and see which ones fit day-to-day life.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that can block regular attendance. Licensed professionals can help clients plan how to use sessions alongside work and caregiving demands so the work is manageable and relevant.
