About Shondalea
Shondalea "Shonda" Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice and community mental health settings. Shonda focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, and major life changes.
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings.
How Shondalea works
She encourages small, practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels. Shonda uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client and to build a stronger therapeutic relationship. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her work when clients want tools for managing stress, staying focused, or increasing motivation. She also brings psychodynamic ideas when deeper patterns from the past are relevant to current struggles.
Treatment plans are adapted to each person's situation and goals. Shonda helps with a broad range of concerns that often come together, such as body image, communication problems, grief from separation or divorce, chronic illness or pain, and guilt or shame. She aims to empower people to find clearer choices and practical ways forward.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Shonda uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering empathy and listening that help people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support or wants to build self-awareness and personal goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavioral changes. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related routines because it breaks problems into clear steps and actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made so the approach stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option, and chat or text work well for short updates, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity between meetings.
