Shandria Woodall

Shandria Woodall is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Her work focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She keeps sessions straightforward and calm. Shandria focuses on building rapport, listening with empathy, and offering steady support. She uses clear tools and hands-on techniques so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.

Shandria combines client-centered listening with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also weaves in mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people find motivation and small changes that add up. Where helpful, expressive methods such as art and sandtray work are used to access feelings that are hard to name.

Her background includes work in nonprofit settings, school-based therapy, the child-welfare system, and private practice. That mix informs her practical approach to problems like family conflict, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and abandonment wounds.

Shandria holds LMHC and LPC credentials and has seven years of experience in the mental health field in Florida. She aims to meet people where they are and help them build clearer steps forward, whether they are managing loss, anger, or major life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person rather than a fixed plan. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their priorities so sessions match their pace and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers simple experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean leaning into mindfulness practices for emotional regulation, using CBT exercises for anxious thinking, or blending methods to fit the situation.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and expressive tools between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
