Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She has provided care in both private practice settings and community mental health, supporting people with concerns such as anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and coping with life changes.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on meeting each person where they are. Jensen uses a blend of techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and client-centered traditions, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to fit each client’s unique needs.

In practice she helps clients address issues including stress, ADHD, sleep difficulties, relationship and attachment concerns, body image and eating-related issues, family and blended family challenges, grief and loss, and chronic illness or pain. Jensen emphasizes collaboration and practical skills alongside deeper exploration of patterns and past experiences. Her goal is to support people as they take the often-difficult first steps toward change and greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their own goals and values. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving confidence, and navigating relationship or attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, and difficulties with motivation.

Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and strategies to reduce reactivity. It can support stress management, improve sleep, and help people cope with chronic pain or intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jensen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity when life changes occur, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver evidence-informed approaches in a variety of ways.
