About Shamanda

Shamanda Burston is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, achievement pressure, and life transitions. She often works with clients who look successful on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck underneath. Shamanda invites straightforward, practical conversations so people can stop performing and start feeling steadier.

Her sessions emphasize clear, usable steps rather than long theory talks. She uses approaches that focus on relationships and current thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Background and approach

Shamanda also brings attention to financial stress and how money concerns tie into emotional life. Over 15 years of practice have shaped a direct and supportive style. She aims to help clients set boundaries, manage overwhelm, and find clearer priorities.

Many people work on goals like coping with change, improving self-esteem, or handling grief and trauma. Shamanda draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings of safety. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness techniques help ground people during moments of high stress. Shamanda is based in North Carolina and offers sessions in English. She provides a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore coping with addictions, bipolar and depressive symptoms, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and many other concerns.

Online support

How Shamanda’s Approaches Work Online

Shamanda uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings of safety and connection. That work helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and find new ways to feel more supported.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building coping skills that show results between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shamanda works collaboratively to test methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize relationship work, thought-focused tools, or mindfulness practice at any given time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, mood tracking, or brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
