Shawndre Leydon, LMHC, LCPC

Shawndre Leydon is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and trauma. She uses practical, people-centered methods to help clients sort through emotional pain and make changes that matter. Shawndre brings warmth and a nonjudgmental attitude to sessions so people can speak plainly about what’s hard for them.

She uses several evidence-based approaches to shape therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change everyday patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking steps toward them despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.

Shawndre tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She mixes client-centered listening with practical tools such as skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation is a focus. Her background includes work with grief, addictions, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, and trauma and abuse.

Shawndre holds MA LMHC and ME LCPC credentials and has five years of experience providing counseling in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English and she is open to international clients. Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How Shawndre's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can support work on relationship priorities, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and intimacy, which can help with trust, communication problems, and abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences, and together they will pick methods that fit. That collaborative process makes sessions more useful from the start rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only meetings if they prefer less bandwidth or want a brief phone-style session. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day needs and goals.
