About Shannon
Shannon Detwiler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Shannon often focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, communication problems, family of origin concerns, and women’s issues.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions emphasize clear skills for managing anxiety and depression, and steps for rebuilding self-trust. Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients respond differently to difficult emotions.
Work typically begins by mapping patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or avoidance. Then she helps clients try small, doable changes and track what happens. Conversations often include role practice for clearer communication and strategies to reduce shame, guilt, and isolation.
Shannon also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those tools match a person’s needs. That can mean teaching distress-tolerance skills or guiding conversations about attachment and feelings.
She practices in Florida and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Florida. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Shannon Uses Structured Approaches in Remote Sessions
Shannon commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and testing automatic thoughts and changing unhelpful behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and rebuilding confidence. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action; it helps people move toward what matters even when feelings are hard to sit with.She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and experience. This means the therapist listens for what the client wants to change and adapts tools to those goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Shannon will help explore options and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. These practical benefits help people build consistent practice of new skills and bring therapy into everyday life.
