About Shannon
Shannon Detwiler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience and active licensure in New York and Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and the particular toll of caring for others while neglecting your own needs.
Shannon often works with people who feel guilty or ashamed for wanting time or care for themselves. She listens for patterns tied to family of origin, attachment wounds, abandonment, and people-pleasing. In sessions she helps clients name those patterns and notice how they show up in daily life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means practical tools for thinking and behavior, ways to work with strong emotions, and time to reflect on values and what matters to you. Sessions mix skill practice with reflective conversation.
Shannon pays attention to how guilt, shame, and forgiveness affect relationships and self-worth. She offers ways to practice clearer communication, set boundaries, and rebuild self-trust. Work can include looking at family patterns, addressing isolation, and clarifying life purpose.
She offers sessions in English from Florida. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on short experiential exercises and values clarification that you can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skill work to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions CBT often includes worksheets, behavior experiments, and homework to try in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that match your needs. Over the first few sessions, you and the therapist can adjust methods so the work fits how you prefer to learn and respond.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or offering a way to meet when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session length work best for your life and responsibilities.
