About Shontel
LCSW in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience, Shontel Taylor Harris focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths.
Shontel helps people name what feels most urgent and then chooses practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Sessions typically involve talking through patterns, clarifying goals, and trying small changes between meetings. She emphasizes concrete skills and reflection rather than lengthy theory discussions.
Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients identify strengths they already use. She supports people as they practice new ways of relating, communicating, and managing emotions. That can mean focusing on boundaries, coping skills for anxiety, or steps to address past harms.
Shontel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when those issues come up. She also works with people facing blended family stress, divorce and separation, or family of origin problems.
Clients may bring concerns such as body image, control issues, communication problems, or the effects of domestic violence and trauma. She also addresses co-morbidity and mood regulation difficulties such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder when relevant. The emphasis stays on practical tools and steady progress.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and international clients who speak English are supported.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Shontel describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying concrete behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. These techniques help with worry, avoidance, and low mood by breaking problems into small, testable steps.Trauma-informed methods emphasize stabilizing reactions and building coping skills before approaching painful memories. This work often begins with grounding, emotion regulation strategies, and pacing so clients feel able to tolerate difficult material. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what shows improvement in early sessions. Adjustments are made based on what helps in practice rather than on a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support ongoing work across different time zones for international clients who speak English.
