About Shannon
Shannon Detwiler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes. Shannon often works with women who feel drained from caring for others and want to reconnect with their own needs.
Shannon helps clients notice patterns that began in childhood and family life, including attachment and family of origin issues. She talks through how roles, expectations, and people-pleasing habits keep someone stuck. Sessions typically include practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and overwhelming responsibilities.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she blends attention to thoughts and behaviors with work on emotions and relationships. She uses mindfulness and values-based work to build clearer choices and steadier self-trust.
Shannon also addresses abandonment fears, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. She supports people exploring forgiveness, self-love, life purpose, and women's issues. Her work involves setting realistic boundaries and practicing skills that make everyday life more manageable.
Practical next steps include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and making choices that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete skills for reducing worry and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns and interactions, often helping people identify and shift how they respond to strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. She collaborates to try methods that match those goals and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
If you prefer remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits include easier scheduling around work and family commitments, the ability to keep shorter check-ins when time is limited, and fewer travel requirements so therapy can fit into busy days. Discussing which methods to use and how often to meet is part of the initial planning conversation.
