Shontel Taylor Harris, LCSW

Shontel Taylor Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and sees people as experts in their own stories. Shontel aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

Her practical approach centers on helping people identify what gets in the way of daily functioning. She listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and communication problems. Together with the person in therapy she looks at how past family dynamics and current relationships shape feelings and behavior.

She addresses issues such as body image, control problems, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. She also works with people facing co-morbidity and disruptive mood challenges.

Sessions focus on gradual changes a person can practice between meetings. She supports people as they build confidence and increase motivation. The work includes naming patterns, testing new ways of relating, and repairing areas of hurt and emptiness.

Shontel accepts clients in English and also accepts international clients. Prospective clients should follow the site’s booking steps to begin a match with her. If you want a straightforward, strengths-based collaborator, she is positioned to help you take the next step.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Shontel describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional awareness. One common approach emphasizes building emotion regulation skills so people can better manage anxiety and mood swings; this involves learning concrete breathing, grounding, and activity planning strategies to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on identifying relationship and attachment patterns so people can notice how past experiences shape current responses; this helps with communication problems and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they will try techniques, review what is helpful, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the person's needs.

The practical benefits of doing this work online include easier scheduling around daily life and fitting sessions into work or family routines. Online therapy can reduce time spent commuting and make it simpler to maintain consistent appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to learn how sessions are delivered and which format will best fit your schedule and needs.
