About Shontel
Shontel Taylor Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She brings 12 years of professional experience supporting people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, trauma, and depression. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks to build on existing strengths.
Shontel listens for the things that get in the way of daily life. She helps people name what they are feeling and then works with them to try different ways of coping. Conversations aim to be practical and clear so people can try changes between sessions.
Her work covers issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, blended family dynamics, body image, control issues, and recovery from domestic violence and abuse. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, family of origin wounds, and the emptiness that can follow major life shifts.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns and testing small, manageable steps toward feeling better. The approach emphasizes collaboration - deciding goals together and adjusting methods as needed. Shontel offers straightforward guidance and encouragement while honoring each person’s pace.
People who want to begin are invited to consider what they hope to change and how much time they can commit. Shontel aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life, with clear next steps and realistic goals tailored to each person.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety and depression, using practical exercises to try between sessions. Another approach attends to attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and teaching new ways to connect and communicate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust based on what feels most useful.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they work on stress, relationships, or mood concerns.
