About Shontrice
Shontrice Hansen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses a practical, people-first approach to help clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable steps so families and individuals can make changes that matter. Her work is steady and straightforward, aimed at easing painful feelings and improving everyday functioning.
With 14 years of experience, she has supported people through parenting struggles, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She also works with mood disorders, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Shontrice has experience addressing sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder among other needs. Her clinical style draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
That means sessions can include listening carefully to a person’s story, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and working through trauma at a pace that feels manageable. She adapts tools to fit each person’s life rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Shontrice practices in Tennessee and offers online options in English.
She aims to create a space where people can name what hurts, try new ways of coping, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others. People who choose her typically want straightforward guidance, practical skills, and a collaborative process that balances compassion with clear goals and steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on progress and preference. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that feel useful and realistic for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation and see visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or ongoing support between scheduled conversations. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals who adapt tools for remote sessions.
