01About Shawndre
Shawndre Leydon is a licensed clinician who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She holds MA LMHC and ME LCPC and brings five years of professional experience. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to sort things out.
She uses approaches that help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and make choices that match their values. That can look like learning coping tools for anxiety, trying new ways to handle relationship stress, or building routines to improve sleep and eating.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, realistic steps. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, career change, compassion fatigue, and a range of identity and intimacy-related issues.
Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress. Shawndre combines methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts these approaches to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions are offered to people in Florida and to international clients in English. Shawndre uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. She encourages a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is tracked in small, measurable ways.

04Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful actions; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people create healthier ways of connecting and relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shawndre will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy feels tailored rather than preset.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and try different session styles as needed.
