About Shannon

Shannon Detwiler is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

She focuses on everyday struggles such as low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and relationship difficulties. Shannon often helps clients understand patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues.

Background and approach

Sessions include talking through past hurts, identifying unhelpful habits, and trying new ways of relating to oneself and others. She uses skills from DBT and ACT when someone needs tools for emotion regulation or clearer values-based choices. Her work pays attention to feelings and the ways they shape choices.

That means noticing what comes up in the moment, naming it, and testing small changes between sessions. Practical tasks and short exercises are used to build confidence and reduce overwhelming reactions. People who struggle with guilt, shame, isolation, or trouble communicating often find focused, step-by-step support.

Shannon also addresses topics like forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. Her approach balances emotional understanding with concrete techniques to help daily functioning. Shannon meets with clients online by video, phone, chat, or messaging.

Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She conducts therapy in English and works from Florida as a New York and Florida LMHC.

Online support

How emotion-focused and skills-based work adapts online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and processing strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people notice what they feel in the moment, name it, and try new responses to reduce reactivity and strengthen connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that align with their values, useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients steer the pace and focus of sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the mix of emotion work and skill training based on what produces useful change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and try in-session experiments. Phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on meaningful emotional work and practical skills.
