About Shaniece
Shaniece Goodman is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns. Shaniece also helps people facing family and blended family challenges and those coping with chronic illness or cancer-related strain.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Shaniece talks through communication skills, coping strategies for anxiety, and ways to reduce shame tied to past events or relationships. Sessions aim to be straightforward and problem-focused when that fits the client's needs.
Shaniece brings a culturally responsive perspective to sessions and pays attention to how identity and life context shape feelings of guilt and shame. She works with people who want to understand why they feel stuck and learn tools to manage strong emotions. The work can involve exploring past wounds and practicing new ways of interacting with others.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals together and check progress over time. Shaniece describes therapy as a place to test new behaviors, practice different communication, and try techniques for lowering stress and depressive symptoms. She also supports people navigating addiction-related concerns within that framework.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in California. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and use a subscription model for fees that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Shaniece draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address core issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma-related shame. One approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning. Another approach addresses relationship and communication patterns, helping people practice direct, clearer ways of speaking and setting boundaries during real-life interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaniece collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She monitors progress and adjusts methods so sessions stay relevant to what the person wants to change or understand.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote meetings so clients can practice skills at home and report back on what worked.
