Shawndre Leydon

Shawndre Leydon is a licensed therapist who works from a collaborative, down-to-earth style. She holds MA LMHC and ME LCPC credentials and practices in Florida. Shawndre focuses on helping people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Her sessions are practical and conversational. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people identify values and take steps that match what matters to them.

Shawndre brings five years of clinical experience to her work and has supported people coping with trauma, abuse, addiction, grief, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar mood swings. She aims to make therapy feel respectful and nonjudgmental, and she avoids labeling people by their struggles.

Her approach is flexible. She blends client-centered listening with techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and attachment-based work when that fits a person’s needs. That mix lets her focus on skills like emotional regulation while also holding space for relationship patterns and attachment concerns.

People who choose Shawndre can expect a clear plan together. She helps set realistic goals, practices new skills in session, and checks progress from week to week. To begin, she asks clients to describe their main concerns and priorities so sessions match what they need most.

How Shawndre’s approaches fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take steps that match their values. It is useful for worries, anger, and big life changes because it focuses on action that matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when trust, intimacy, or communication cause repeated stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shawndre will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process with room to adjust the plan based on what helps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins when a full in-person visit feels difficult. It also supports working on practical skills and emotion regulation exercises in the context of everyday life, which many people find useful.
