About Shayna
Shayna Rayman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Shayna uses practical talk and active strategies to help clients work through these issues.
She favors a straightforward style that focuses on what people are doing and thinking day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach and is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and test different ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities and on EMDR when trauma processing is needed.
Sessions are a mix of listening, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings. Shayna checks what is working and adjusts plans as progress or obstacles appear. She aims to make therapy concrete so people can notice small changes they can build on.
Her background across two state licenses means she has experience with a range of settings and concerns. Shayna keeps conversation practical and goal-oriented while attending to the emotional side of problems. She asks clear questions, offers specific techniques, and helps clients track progress.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. This helps clarify goals and the best path forward before committing to ongoing sessions.
How CBT, client-centered work, and EMDR translate to online sessions
Shayna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, practicing short exercises, and assigning simple steps to try between meetings to test new responses. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is guided by the client's concerns and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most now.She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is appropriate; EMDR focuses on changing how distressing memories are stored so they cause less emotional upset. The choice of approach is collaborative: Shayna will help identify which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is assessed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so check-ins can be easier to schedule. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Licensed professionals can use different approaches in remote sessions to focus on skills practice, thought monitoring, and trauma processing when appropriate, all while working with the client to match methods to their immediate goals.
