About Shanterica
Shanterica Swan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, drained, or stuck beneath a composed exterior. Her stated focus includes anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and problems with mood and emotional regulation.
She commonly supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, struggles with self-esteem, anger, and major life changes such as divorce and separation. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her practice notes an emphasis on women's issues as a focus area.
Swan uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work, alongside client-centered methods and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused therapy. She emphasizes tools that can be used between sessions to manage thoughts, moods, and reactions.
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of responding to stress or strong emotions. She draws on mindfulness and emotion regulation skills to help people notice triggers and practice different behaviors. Conversations tend to be concrete and focused on what can change now.
Her background includes work in outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings. People choosing her typically want practical strategies and brief, measurable steps for everyday challenges rather than long, open-ended exploration.
How her approaches apply to online sessions
Shanterica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills and short practice assignments that translate well to a virtual setting. Client-centered therapy complements CBT by centering the person's experience and priorities, letting the therapist listen and respond to what matters most in each week.She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together they will review goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust methods based on what helps. The client and therapist decide whether to emphasize thought-work, skills training, or solution-focused steps depending on immediate needs and longer-term goals.

Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a check-in that is shorter or less visually demanding. Online work can make it easier to practice exercises in real life and bring concrete examples to the next meeting.
