About Shaniece
Shaniece Goodman is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and concerns linked to family life and relationships.
Shaniece focuses on practical steps people can use when feeling stuck after big life changes. She talks through how past losses, attachment patterns, and shame show up in daily life. Sessions look at communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and the ways chronic illness or caregiving strain affect mood and choices.
Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people practice new ways of relating and coping. Conversations include building clearer boundaries, managing overwhelming emotions, and experimenting with small behavior changes between meetings.
Shaniece notes specific experience with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses problems tied to chronic pain, cancer, and co-morbid health conditions as they affect daily functioning.
People who come for help around addictions or antisocial or avoidant personality patterns focus on practical steps and safety planning in session. She offers a culturally responsive approach and attends to how identity and life context shape next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in California. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling their first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Shaniece uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to lower anxiety or depressive patterns. This can help with stress, low mood, and difficulties that follow health or relationship changes.She also draws on attachment-informed work that looks at how earlier losses and relationship patterns affect current choices and closeness. That approach helps when people struggle with abandonment concerns, attachment issues, or communication problems in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shaniece will work together with clients to decide which methods best fit their goals and needs, and will adjust techniques as progress and preferences emerge.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and some formats permit shorter check-ins or phone conversations when video is difficult. Online work can make it simpler to keep therapy regular during life transitions and to practice new skills between meetings.
