She holds dual credentials - Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - which reflect advanced clinical training and state licensure to provide counseling services. Shandria has worked across a range of settings, including nonprofit organizations, school-based therapy, the child-welfare system, and private practice, bringing practical insight from each environment to her clinical work.

Her approach is straightforward and rooted in sincere compassion. She emphasizes building strong rapport, offering empathic support, and creating a therapeutic atmosphere where clients can address concerns at their own pace. Shandria integrates a variety of techniques to meet individual needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, art and expressive arts methods, and sandtray therapy to address issues such as depression, grief and loss, trauma, and PTSD.

Shandria focuses on helping people heal, grow, and develop healthier coping strategies. She aims to partner with each person to identify goals and practical steps forward, and she welcomes the opportunity to support clients as they work toward improved emotional well-being.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Shandria draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting and collaborative space where the client guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal goals, relationship concerns, and identity-related issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete tools clients can apply between sessions to change reactions and build coping skills.

Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce emotional reactivity, which can be useful for trauma recovery, anger management, and general stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shandria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she remains flexible as those needs evolve.

Online sessions provide practical benefits such as increased scheduling flexibility and easier access to care. Whether meeting by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can choose formats that fit their routines and comfort levels while working with licensed professionals and therapists to make measurable progress.
