Shona Dyche, LPC

Shona Dyche is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people juggling stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and related struggles. Her tone is straightforward and calm, aimed at parents and adults who need clear support now.

She works with people facing relationship strain, substance concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, grief, anger, and trauma or abuse. Self-harm is an additional focus. Sessions concentrate on identifying problems that get in the way of daily life and finding steps that actually fit a person's routine.

Shona blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also listening closely to what matters most to each person. The goal is practical skills plus a space to be heard.

In sessions she uses everyday language and clear exercises you can try between meetings. Expect guidance on managing strong feelings, building healthier habits, and coping with setbacks. She aims to make tools useful for real life, not just theory.

Shona offers therapy by phone, video calls, live chat, and text messaging. People connect in whatever format fits their schedule, then work together on goals and next steps. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Work Online

Shona uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and habits that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical steps you can try between sessions to shift mood and behavior. Client-centered therapy makes room for each person's priorities and pace by emphasizing listening and respect rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize thought-focused exercises, skill practice, or a more listening-centered course of work and then adjust as needed.

Online therapy gives flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to in-person meetings and work well for longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, coping prompts, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and practice skills between sessions.
