About Shamona
Shamona McFadden is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and career or life transitions.
She uses straightforward, problem-solving methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Shamona also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and concerns linked to sexual orientation and multicultural identity.
Her background includes long-term work with people sorting out communication problems, commitment issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports clients dealing with body image, jealousy, impulsivity, and the effects of divorce or separation. Fatherhood issues and challenges faced by people who are visually impaired are in her stated focus areas as well.
Shamona draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused approaches. In practice she uses these methods to break down problems into manageable steps, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build clearer ways to talk about difficulties.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shamona commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and testing small, practical changes to see what helps. Client-centered work prioritizes the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to clarify goals and build active strategies.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client's goals and preferences and suggest either CBT, client-centered techniques, or elements of narrative or solution-focused work when those fit. Clients and Shamona check in as they go and adjust the focus based on what is proving useful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, and let people engage without travel time. It can also allow sessions that focus on homework review, skills practice, and real-time problem solving that fit into everyday life.
