About Shonda
Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience, Shonda Hart-Wright helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, parenting worries, and life changes. She works with mood disorders including bipolar and supports people facing trauma, grief, and ADHD concerns. Sessions are client-centered and grounded in practical strategies.
Hart-Wright uses straightforward, reality-based counseling alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools where useful to address emotional regulation and values-based action.
Her practice aims to clarify goals and teach concrete skills. That may mean practicing coping techniques, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, or working on communication and boundary-setting. She also pays attention to practical life stressors such as money issues, caregiver strain, and blended family dynamics.
Clients can expect a direct, collaborative style that keeps the person’s priorities central. Hart-Wright emphasizes dignity and respect while helping people try different problem-solving steps. Her background includes work in a range of institutional settings with clients who had serious and complex mental health concerns.
She offers counseling in English from Florida and is open to working with international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and any scheduling details with the intake process.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate thoughts. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and simple awareness skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean prioritizing skills practice one week and values work the next, based on what the client reports and wants to try. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about available session types and scheduling during the intake. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full visit would be hard to schedule. They also let therapists observe how coping skills are used in everyday settings without requiring extra commute time.Sheet 3
