About Shayna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience, licensed in Florida and Illinois. Shayna Rayman focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem, and depression. She works using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Shayna centers sessions on what each person brings. She listens for immediate concerns and practical steps that can reduce distress. Conversations are used to identify patterns in thinking and behavior, then she uses techniques to test new ways of responding. When trauma is a factor, EMDR is offered as one of the tools to process painful memories.
She adapts the pace to the person in front of her. Some people want focused skill work for anxiety or anger. Others need more space to talk through grief or relationship strains. CBT is used for skill building and changing unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions toward collaboration and respect.
Her background across Florida and Illinois informs work with a range of relationship and family dynamics. Shayna favors short, clear goals so progress can be checked each session. She also discusses practical coping strategies people can use between meetings.
To begin, the usual step is to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. That initial meeting clarifies current needs and outlines the next steps for therapy.

How these approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist focuses on the person’s concerns and follows their pace, which helps when addressing relationship strains or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-based, using structured exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it suits anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works on processing distressing memories and related symptoms.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to emphasize skill building, trauma processing, or conversational exploration.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and EMDR preparation to remote settings, and Client-Centered conversations translate well to video or phone contact. Check the available session types when you schedule to pick what fits your routine.
