About Shawndre

Shawndre Leydon is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage strong emotions. She focuses on reducing anger, easing anxiety, and improving relationships. Shawndre speaks English and works with adults across Florida and internationally by online sessions.

She brings five years of clinical experience as an MA LMHC and ME LCPC. In sessions she keeps the work straightforward. People learn ways to notice thoughts, try a new response, and practice skills between meetings.

Background and approach

Shawndre blends approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed listening. That mix helps people address trauma, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, and mood shifts. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting stress, career changes, or compassion fatigue.

Sessions are collaborative. Shawndre invites clients to set clear goals and to test what helps in everyday life. She builds practical plans for sleeping better, handling triggers, or calming intense reactions.

Her methods include short skills practice, guided reflection, and step-by-step behavior changes. Many people find those techniques useful for anger, impulsive behavior, and long-standing patterns like codependency or avoidance. Shawndre frames progress as steady learning rather than instant fixes.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approach-driven online care for emotion and behavior work

Shawndre commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on small actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Shawndre will talk with each person about goals and day-to-day challenges, then suggest techniques to try. Sessions are conversational and collaborative so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper dialogue and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill practice, or staying connected between meetings. These options provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
