About Shawndre
Shawndre Leydon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Shawndre uses practical talk and skill-building in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice painful thoughts without acting on them, and attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current closeness and boundaries.
Clients can expect direct conversations about behaviors like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and getting overwhelmed by others' needs. Shawndre addresses codependency-related patterns by helping people name those behaviors and try new ways of relating. She also works on sleep, eating, anger, addiction concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is interactive and focused on practical steps. Sessions include skill practice, plain-language explanations, and checking progress toward short-term goals. She adapts techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, client-centered, and attachment-based methods to fit each person’s situation.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Shawndre commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and people-pleasing patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current closeness and boundary problems and helps people practice new ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, everyday routines, and what feels most useful. Together they try techniques and adjust methods based on how well those tools help with stress, relationship patterns, codependency concerns, or mood symptoms.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Online-focused sessions often let people practice skills between meetings and bring situations from daily life directly into conversation, which can speed learning and make changes feel more practical.
