About Shaniece
Shaniece Goodman helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and family-related concerns. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California and uses practical, everyday language in sessions.
Background and approach
Shaniece aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can begin to feel understood and safer with their emotions. She focuses on helping clients build self-compassion and stronger communication skills.
Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small behavior changes that feel doable. Shaniece pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and supports people in making different choices when they want to.
Her background includes three years working with adults who face anxiety, depression, and recovery challenges. She brings an inclusive, culturally aware perspective to the work and stays mindful of each person’s identity and story.
That approach helps keep discussions grounded in the client’s everyday life. Shaniece favors collaborative work where goals are practical and measurable.
People leave sessions with clear next steps they can try between meetings. She explains options in plain terms and checks in often to see what is or isn’t working.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided through online formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Shaniece practices in California as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT).
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Shaniece draws from well-established, evidence-based techniques to guide online work. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns by practicing new responses in everyday situations; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns, helping clients understand how early relationships influence current reactions and communication, which can help with codependency and commitment struggles.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Shaniece works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies based on what feels most helpful in real life.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick questions, ongoing support between meetings, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
