Shontrice Hansen, LPC

Shontrice Hansen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. She works with individuals and families across the lifespan, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger, behavior concerns, grief, stress, relational conflicts, and recovery from traumatic events. Her practice emphasizes practical, strengths-based work that meets each client where they are and builds toward meaningful change.

Drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods, Shontrice develops individualized plans that may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions - Solution-Focused techniques to identify and amplify what is working, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral approaches for healing after traumatic experiences, and strength-based and motivational strategies to foster resilience and momentum. She adapts interventions to suit the needs of the person or family in front of her rather than relying on a single formula.

Shontrice values creating a space where clients can explore vulnerability, develop self-understanding, and restore relationships. She maintains flexible hours to accommodate clients’ schedules and focuses on practical steps toward growth and healing. It is her privilege to support clients as they take steps toward greater well-being and life satisfaction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Shontrice blends client-centered work with structured therapies to address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients as they find their own solutions - it helps with self-exploration, relationship concerns, and building self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood management. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the lingering effects of traumatic events through carefully paced interventions that support safety and gradual healing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Shontrice works collaboratively with each person to choose or combine methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment so it fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving and other responsibilities, supporting consistent progress even amid a busy life.
