About Shandria

Shandria Woodall is a licensed counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and codependency. She also supports clients dealing with anger, career questions, ADHD, and big life changes. Shandria draws on seven years of experience in mental health settings to guide practical steps forward.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on building trust. She emphasizes listening, empathy, and steady support while working with each person at their own pace. Her style centers on understanding what matters to the client and setting clear, doable goals.

Therapeutic tools Shandria commonly uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new coping skills, and build small changes that add up.

Her background includes roles with nonprofit organizations, school-based therapy, the child-welfare system, and private practice. That mix has shaped a practical way of working with emotional pain and everyday struggles. She aims for sessions that feel calm, direct, and useful.

Shandria holds Florida LMHC and Georgia LPC credentials. Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to start can expect a short matching process to connect them and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to each person and helping them set goals. It helps people who need steady support and a space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for emotional regulation and coping with distress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed so work in sessions feels useful and relevant.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, behavioral homework, and thought-recording tools between appointments.
