01About Shondalea
Shondalea "Shonda" Jensen is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice and community mental health settings. Shonda helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD, sleep problems, and major life transitions.
She creates an open environment where people can speak about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Background and approach
Shonda does not center therapy around stigmatizing labels. In sessions she uses a blend of practical approaches. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods to make sure the conversation follows each person's needs.
She also uses mindfulness to build present-moment awareness and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Shonda adapts the plan to match what each person brings to the room. That means sessions may include short skills practice, focused problem-solving, and time to reflect on past experiences.
She works with people who want clearer boundaries, better sleep, improved mood, or help managing ADHD-related struggles. She recognizes how hard the first step can be and aims to support and empower people as they move toward change. Her approach focuses on practical steps and honest conversation to help people make meaningful progress.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Shonda uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete skills for mood, anxiety, sleep, and ADHD-related struggles. CBT sessions often include short practice exercises and action steps to try between meetings.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and pace. That approach focuses on listening, validating feelings, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shonda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she updates the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session should be shorter. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life changes.
