Shawndre Leydon, LMHC, LCPC

Shawndre Leydon is a licensed therapist who focuses on practical, collaborative work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addictions. She holds an MA LMHC and an ME LCPC and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. Shawndre uses straightforward conversation and clear goals to help people make steady progress.

She blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take steps that matter. Attachment-based ideas inform how early relationships shape current patterns.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, emotional regulation, and improving communication. Shawndre aims to reduce shame and judgment so people can explore issues honestly.

She has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, grief, and caregiving stress, and also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy and body image, and workplace or career stress. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, codependency, and dissociation.

If someone wants to begin, they follow a simple intake flow to match with a therapist and schedule sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are supported. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying what matters most. It focuses on small, values-based steps that can reduce stuck patterns and support recovery from issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, problem-solving approach that looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions, helping people shift patterns that hurt relationships and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will collaborate to try approaches that fit. Adjustments happen as work progresses so the plan stays relevant to the person's life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, let someone check in from a quieter spot, or reduce travel time so appointments are more consistent. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, practice communication, and track progress in ways that fit daily routines.
