About Shonta
Shonta Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of experience practicing in Georgia. She focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, self-esteem, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Shonta also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, and challenges linked to trauma and addiction.
Her sessions aim to help people notice how they give too much and start setting clearer boundaries. She talks through communication patterns and reactions that keep relationships stuck. Practical steps and straightforward tools are part of sessions, along with looking at past experiences that shape present behavior.
Shonta uses an evidence-informed, trauma-aware framework that pays attention to cultural context and lived experience. She works with clients to identify strengths and try small changes that build confidence. Conversations may include role practice for boundary setting and concrete strategies for managing anxiety or sleep problems.
People who find the work useful often want clearer limits, less reactivity, or a plan to handle career and caregiving pressures. Sessions blend reflective discussion with hands-on exercises to change everyday habits. Shonta also addresses issues like codependency, communication breakdowns, and coping after loss.
She offers care in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site's booking flow.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Shonta works from evidence-informed techniques that aim to change patterns and relieve symptoms. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing clearer, more assertive responses; this helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing. Another emphasis is trauma-aware care that looks at how past events shape reactions now and uses paced methods to reduce reactivity and build regulation skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shonta collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist set goals together and try strategies in session, then review how those strategies felt in daily life to refine the plan.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so check-ins are easier to keep. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular appointments, try shorter check-ins when needed, and use screen-sharing or digital worksheets during session work.
