Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in a wide range of issues such as relationship problems, women's issues, anxiety, depression, low self - esteem, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals with severe mood disorders and psychosis.
My goal is to help you gain self - awareness and learn the skills needed to both manage and overcome life's obstacles.
My Path to Becoming a Therapist:
Although counseling is my second career, it's my ultimate calling. I have always been interested in human behavior and people have naturally gravitated toward me for a listening ear. As a counselor, I have worked in a variety of settings, such as partial hospitalization programs, community mental health clinics, private practice, and residential treatment facilities.
I believe that the trait that makes me a great therapist is my ability to disarm the most guarded person with my genuinely kind, warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, open-minded, and honest approach. Additionally, I believe that the client is the expert and teaches me about his/her/their experience and how best to help him/her/them.
My theoretical approach is integrated and tailored to meet each client's needs. It combines a mixture of cognitive behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and gestalt therapies (just to name a few treatment modalities).
What should you know about working with me?
My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and engaging. I am a firm believer in establishing a good rapport with people and building a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe in and practice unconditional acceptance and encourage people to express themselves freely.
I enjoy getting to know my clients on a deeper level and meeting them where they are. I value authenticity and believe that the therapeutic relationship can be the catalyst for meaningful transformation. The ideal client for me is one who is ready to improve overall wellbeing and quality of life by working to overcome life's obstacles.
I work with people to help them overcome life's obstacles and believe that a renewed mind is the key to transformational living. Transformational living requires change and change is not easy, even if it is sometimes necessary. Being equipped for change helps to make the transition smoother.
In order to have the best life possible, I will support you in discovering and living to your greatest potential.
What am I most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
I am most excited about seeing individuals grow and transform.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help. I commend you for your bravery and effort. Welcome to BetterHelp. I look forward to working with you!

Sheaundra has been crucial in my journey of finding peace within myself as I’m dealing with one of the most difficult times of my life. She is the perfect balance for me as far as equally being an active listener and giving me advice or feedback. It seems like she always knows just what to say to make me feel a little better about myself and how I’m handling my struggles. She’s also been key at helping me weigh out pros and cons of tough decisions I’ve had to make. I also love the app and being able to message between sessions when necessary. I’m so grateful for her and the wisdom she shares with me.

What's great about talking to Sheaundra is that she doesn't feel like I'm talking to someone for help. She feels like my best friend who listens and consoles but then holds the mirror to MY face and shows me how my actions and choices have led me here. Not pointing fingers but very matter of fact, you need to get some stuff straight. I love it. It's really just the personality I need. ❤

Sheaundra is amazing. She really takes the time to listen and understand what you are saying with no judgment. She gives sound advice and is very patient with me while I work through obstacles. Working with her has been a blessing.

Sheaundra is a breath of fresh air after talking to many counselors in my life and never feeling like I really “clicked” with any of them. She is a great listener and provides great insight to the topics we discuss. I often tell her “Oh that was good” because she’s great at knowing exactly what I need to hear. She is very personable and makes me feel comfortable to share what’s on my mind.

I'd highly recommend Ms. O'Neil for therapy. I was hesitant to participate in virtual therapy but I am so happy that I did. We worked on my issues for almost 2 months and she was knowledgeable, professional and compassionate throughout.
The platform did a great job in understanding my needs and matching me with a therapist who was able to help me figure out truths about myself that I have never considered. I am building a better me based on what I learned from Ms. O'Neil.

Sheaundra is a great therapist! She has really helped me a lot with my personal growth and relationships with my friends and family. I can truly see how much I've changed (for the better!) in these past couple of months of sessions.

I really enjoy having Sheaundra as my counselor. This is my 1st experience having a therapist of any sort and the experience has been very positive. She understands my concerns on a variety of topics and helps me sort things out which in turn improves my mental health and makes me a better person overall. I would highly recommend Sheaundra!

Ms. O’Neil, is an amazing therapist, she helped confirm every feeling I felt. She gave me advice and insight on things I didn’t even think about. I struggle with putting my feelings into words, but she talked me through. I would highly recommend!

I appreciate Sheaundra’s patience with me, and helping me validate myself and find constructive ways to move forward. She encourages me to not only own my feelings but find out the reason behind them which has been helpful in my journey to better mental health
Written on Jun 29, 2021 after therapy with Sheaundra for 2 months
Sheaundra is just brilliant. She has helped me over the last couple months and is always quick to identify issues and help me talk things through, even when I struggle to put words to what I'm feeling.
She is realistic about what it takes to work through and unlearn issues and never lets me get away with a victim's mentality which I really appreciate.
Really, I can't thank Sheaundra enough. I feel much better about myself than I did a few months ago and I always leave sessions ready to take on the world, even if I entered them feeling tired or sad.
Much love!

She’s ahmazzing! I appreciate the most about her that she is not just the “how does that make you feel” counselor. She will give you feedback, she guide you as far as you want to go and help you as much as you’re willing. I appreciate her honesty and patience the most! Plus she feels like I’m taking to a friend!

I have been doing sessions with Sheaundra on a weekly basis for about 4 months now and I am so grateful to have been matched with her. She has been very understanding and helpful on all the topics we have discussed. She is constantly providing me with great advice and helpful tools. I would recommend her to anyone I know going through similar issues as I am, she is well experienced and knowledge on a wide range of topics.

When I first reached out to Sheaundra I was a broken mess of a person, and she taught me how to put myself back together again. Sheaundra will listen to you and understand your issues without babying you or letting you fall into a victim mentality. She does a good job in communicating with you about what your needs are, and how best she can help you get them filled. I honestly can't recommend her enough.
Written on Apr 16, 2021 after therapy with Sheaundra for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd
Sheaundra made me feel so comfortable expressing my anxieties and struggles right off the bat. She saw past the surface level and cut through to get to the heart of the issues. She asked the right questions to make me see that the negative thoughts in my head weren't coming from external relationships - she really helped me get out of my head, recognize negative thoughts, and implement positive habits into my routine which has been such a huge help in a short amount of time!

This was my last session with Sheaundra. We have worked together for the last 6 months. I am eternally grateful to betterhelp for pairing me with the most kind and helpful therapist. I have grown leaps and bounds since working with Sheaundra. I now feel I have come into alignment with my true self and put to rest a lot of the demons I was fighting. I am ready to take on my life with more confidence and a sense of well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone. She is a true professional and Betterhelp lucky to have her!
From the bottom of my heart,

I have worked with Sheaundra for two sessions now and I am very very grateful for her. I thought it may take a year of therapy but I have had a major transformation in my life after only two sessions . She has the ability to listen and clarify your thoughts that may seem scrambled . I feel so clear in my mind about the direction I want to go and I owe this to her . I cannot recommend Sheaundra enough .

Sheaundra is the glue that held me together this past year. I avoided therapy my whole life and signed up without many expectations. She provided a safe space where I could be vulnerable and open. She is an incredible listener and her expertise in her field makes her feedback / exercises extremely powerful tools in my day to day life. I am very grateful to have found someone so knowledgeable and willing to work through my specific concerns and battles. Would recommend 1000%
