About Shayna
Shayna Rayman is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work in Florida. She uses a respectful, straightforward style to help people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation so clients can notice small shifts that add up over time.
She often helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, or issues around intimacy.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, anger, stress, and addiction concerns. Parenting stress and self-esteem are common topics she addresses in session. Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
That means she listens first, then helps people test new ways of thinking and responding, and uses trauma-focused techniques when memories or past events continue to cause distress. The work is paced to each person's comfort level. Shayna explains options and tailors plans to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. Progress is measured in practical terms like changes in daily routines, improved communication, and reduced intensity of symptoms. Clients can expect direct guidance, realistic tools, and steady support while they work toward clearer goals.
Shayna aims to empower people to make choices that lead to a more satisfying and manageable life.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person's lead to understand what matters most. Online sessions let that conversation happen through video, phone, or text so people can choose the way that feels easiest for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions the therapist and client can work on practical exercises, homework, and real-time problem solving that apply to daily life challenges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method used to address distressing memories and related symptoms. When appropriate, parts of EMDR can be adapted for video or phone work with careful pacing and clear steps agreed on by the client and therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and try methods that match the client's goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether to emphasize talking, skills training, or trauma-focused work.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caretaking, or other routines.
