Shayna Rayman

Shayna Rayman is a licensed counselor who combines a person-focused approach with practical techniques. She is an LMHC and an LCPC with 11 years of experience. Shayna aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful. She explains options clearly and meets people where they are.

Her work often centers on relationship strain, family conflict, grief, trauma, and anger. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, issues with intimacy, parenting challenges, addictions, and low self-esteem. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and by mapping small, achievable steps forward.

Shayna uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a compassionate space where a person’s priorities guide the work. She brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when addressing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. EMDR is used as an option for people affected by traumatic memories who want a focused way to process them.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Plans are shaped around a person’s goals and adjusted as progress is made. Shayna encourages questions and explains tools so people can use them between sessions.

She is licensed in Florida and Illinois and draws on eleven years of clinical experience. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to align timing and goals before starting work together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so they feel heard and respected. Online sessions can be used to build that same collaborative space, where the therapist reflects concerns and helps shape goals together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions, CBT often includes practical homework and short skill-building activities to try between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people process distressing memories through structured protocols. When EMDR is used, the therapist explains each step and moves at a pace the person can manage while working toward reduced emotional intensity around specific memories.

Finding the right approach is a joint decision. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. Clients are invited to speak up about preferences and concerns so the work fits their needs.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so expectations match reality. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks. Some formats may be better for brief check-ins while others suit longer skill practice, so ask about available options when scheduling.
