About Shannon

Shannon Detwiler is an LMHC practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people reconnect to themselves after long stretches of caretaking and obligation. She centers care on everyday struggles like anxiety, low mood, and the fatigue that comes from putting others first. Shannon writes plainly and listens closely to help clients notice what matters to them now.

She draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to address stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and trauma. Sessions look at patterns such as people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and attachment wounds. The work aims to build practical tools for boundaries, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Shannon brings nine years of experience to sessions and combines active listening with strategies from cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies. She helps people name unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that fit their goals. Progress is often framed as small changes that add up over time.

Conversations in her practice also address family of origin issues, guilt and shame, abandonment themes, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. People who want to explore life purpose, self-love, or forgiveness will find focused attention on those areas.

How key approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions to change patterns that feed anxiety and depression. It often includes simple homework and skill practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying core emotions that drive relationship patterns and learning new ways to express needs and connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean using ACT tools one week and CBT skill coaching the next as needs shift.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It also supports shorter skill-focused sessions or longer in-depth work depending on what the client and therapist decide together.
