About Shontrice

Shontrice Hansen is an LPC who draws on a practical, skills-based approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and narrative methods to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s concerns, whether those involve parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, or mood and impulse-related struggles.

Her work includes support for a wide range of family and individual concerns such as adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, social anxiety, self-harm, and life-purpose questions.

Shontrice emphasizes practical tools and personal insight so clients can develop healthier patterns and greater self-compassion. Based in Tennessee, she offers flexible scheduling and multiple session formats to fit different lifestyles.

Her LPC credential and long-standing practice reflect a sustained commitment to helping clients process difficult experiences and build toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shontrice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors in ways that improve day-to-day functioning and emotional balance.

She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their values, feelings, and goals at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful for building self-acceptance and strengthening motivation for change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor interventions from different approaches to fit what is most helpful for them.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options allow for flexible appointment times and varied ways to engage in therapy, so clients can choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
