More about Sheaundra

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in a wide range of issues such as relationship problems, women's issues, anxiety, depression, low self - esteem, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals with severe mood disorders and psychosis.

My goal is to help you gain self - awareness and learn the skills needed to both manage and overcome life's obstacles.

My Path to Becoming a Therapist:

Although counseling is my second career, it's my ultimate calling. I have always been interested in human behavior and people have naturally gravitated toward me for a listening ear. As a counselor, I have worked in a variety of settings, such as partial hospitalization programs, community mental health clinics, private practice, and residential treatment facilities.

I believe that the trait that makes me a great therapist is my ability to disarm the most guarded person with my genuinely kind, warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, open-minded, and honest approach. Additionally, I believe that the client is the expert and teaches me about his/her/their experience and how best to help him/her/them.

My theoretical approach is integrated and tailored to meet each client's needs. It combines a mixture of cognitive behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and gestalt therapies (just to name a few treatment modalities).

What should you know about working with me?

My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and engaging. I am a firm believer in establishing a good rapport with people and building a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe in and practice unconditional acceptance and encourage people to express themselves freely.

I enjoy getting to know my clients on a deeper level and meeting them where they are. I value authenticity and believe that the therapeutic relationship can be the catalyst for meaningful transformation. The ideal client for me is one who is ready to improve overall wellbeing and quality of life by working to overcome life's obstacles.

I work with people to help them overcome life's obstacles and believe that a renewed mind is the key to transformational living. Transformational living requires change and change is not easy, even if it is sometimes necessary. Being equipped for change helps to make the transition smoother.

In order to have the best life possible, I will support you in discovering and living to your greatest potential.

What am I most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?

I am most excited about seeing individuals grow and transform.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help. I commend you for your bravery and effort. Welcome to BetterHelp. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been working with Sheaundra for over a year and it has been the best experience. Her ability to blend practical advice with spiritual advice is perfect for me. Highly recommend!

Reviewed September 2022

Sheaundra has been crucial in my journey of finding peace within myself as I’m dealing with one of the most difficult times of my life. She is the perfect balance for me as far as equally being an active listener and giving me advice or feedback. It seems like she always knows just what to say to make me feel a little better about myself and how I’m handling my struggles. She’s also been key at helping me weigh out pros and cons of tough decisions I’ve had to make. I also love the app and being able to message between sessions when necessary. I’m so grateful for her and the wisdom she shares with me.

Reviewed August 2022

What's great about talking to Sheaundra is that she doesn't feel like I'm talking to someone for help. She feels like my best friend who listens and consoles but then holds the mirror to MY face and shows me how my actions and choices have led me here. Not pointing fingers but very matter of fact, you need to get some stuff straight. I love it. It's really just the personality I need. ❤

Sheaundra is a breath of fresh air after talking to many counselors in my life and never feeling like I really “clicked” with any of them. She is a great listener and provides great insight to the topics we discuss. I often tell her “Oh that was good” because she’s great at knowing exactly what I need to hear. She is very personable and makes me feel comfortable to share what’s on my mind.

I'd highly recommend Ms. O'Neil for therapy. I was hesitant to participate in virtual therapy but I am so happy that I did. We worked on my issues for almost 2 months and she was knowledgeable, professional and compassionate throughout. The platform did a great job in understanding my needs and matching me with a therapist who was able to help me figure out truths about myself that I have never considered. I am building a better me based on what I learned from Ms. O'Neil.

Sheaundra is just brilliant. She has helped me over the last couple months and is always quick to identify issues and help me talk things through, even when I struggle to put words to what I'm feeling. She is realistic about what it takes to work through and unlearn issues and never lets me get away with a victim's mentality which I really appreciate. Really, I can't thank Sheaundra enough. I feel much better about myself than I did a few months ago and I always leave sessions ready to take on the world, even if I entered them feeling tired or sad. Much love!
