About Shawndre
Shawndre Leydon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and challenges tied to family of origin patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Shawndre uses several evidence-informed approaches in her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice what matters to them and commit to workable changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of her practice when people want to understand how early family roles and closeness affect current relationships.
Her style is interactive and focused on practical steps. Shawndre talks through specific problems, practices skills in session, and helps clients try new ways of relating. She addresses issues such as parenting stress, codependency, abandonment concerns, body image, and coping with life changes alongside mood or anxiety symptoms.
Clients can expect clear explanations about approaches and collaborative planning for goals. She can support people dealing with addictions, ADHD-related challenges, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue. The work often includes communication practice and strategies to manage emotional reactivity.
To begin, clients use the platform matching process and schedule a first session through the online therapy options. Costs vary by location and sessions operate on a cancellable subscription model.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. Online sessions using ACT often focus on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that matter despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns of closeness and conflict. Online conversations can map those patterns and rehearse different ways of relating in present-day interactions.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to a client's preferences and daily life demands rather than sticking rigidly to a single model.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals and therapists generally use these practical benefits to make therapy fit into everyday routines while focusing on skills and relationship patterns that matter.
