About Shamona
Shamona McFadden is a Florida-licensed clinician (LMHC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and other life changes.
Background and approach
She combines practical, goal-oriented tools with a person-focused stance to support clients who want clearer communication, better coping skills, and improved emotional balance. Her work also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, and identity or multicultural questions, including support for LGBT clients and those coping with visual impairment.
With 14 years of experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused practices to craft individualized plans. Sessions emphasize building insight, reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, and identifying small, achievable steps toward change.
Shamona aims to create a respectful, culturally aware environment where people can explore purpose, self-love, and meaningful connections while working through challenges such as body image, isolation, commitment issues, and life transitions. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques and collaborative problem solving so clients can develop resilience and practical strategies that fit their lives.
She maintains a focus on each person’s unique story and goals when shaping therapeutic work.
Approach-Oriented Online Therapy and Practical Support
Shamona draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered work to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete skills that can reduce anxiety and improve mood, making it useful for stress, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and responding to each person’s individual experience to foster self-understanding and emotional growth.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Shamona will work together with clients to explore which methods match their concerns, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve so therapy remains relevant and goal-focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into daily life while preserving continuity of care across schedules and locations, and Shamona uses them to provide practical, skills-based support in a way that fits each client’s routine.
