About Shontel

Shontel Taylor Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress and anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also covers related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication difficulties, blended family issues, body image, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.

She approaches sessions with direct, practical conversations. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and outlines small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions often include talking through current problems, clarifying goals, and checking what’s working or needs to change.

Her background includes a decade-plus of practice in Texas settings. That experience has shaped a practical style that prioritizes daily life needs - work, family, finances, and health - as part of therapy. She helps people connect changes in feelings to concrete actions they can take outside the session.

In early meetings she helps clients name immediate concerns and set short-term goals. From there she works with each person to adjust plans based on results. Progress is tracked in simple ways so the work stays focused and relevant to real-life demands.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward, goal-focused approach that aims to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. She also welcomes international clients and holds sessions in English.

BHow sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to identify patterns in feelings and behavior and to build practical skills. One common approach focuses on breaking down stressful situations into manageable steps and practicing different responses; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain. Another approach centers on understanding attachment and abandonment patterns by tracing how early relationships influence current reactions, which can help with communication problems and intimacy worries.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That makes the plan collaborative and adaptable as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits the client, and reduce time spent traveling. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while managing work and family demands.
