Shanterica Swan , LMHC

Shanterica Swan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings three years of clinical experience working in outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings. She focuses on helping people who seem high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained.

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and trouble managing strong emotions like anger or impulsivity. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, changes like divorce or separation, and concerns around eating and self-worth. Women's issues and questions about identity and life purpose are part of her practice focus.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical tools. She uses methods that include cognitive techniques and skills for emotional regulation. The goal is to build everyday habits that reduce overwhelm and improve mood and self-esteem.

Swan aims to make sessions feel respectful and nonjudgmental. She focuses on listening first, then working together to set small, achievable goals. Clients can expect straightforward talk, skills practice, and follow-up steps to try between meetings.

She offers therapy in several formats to fit different schedules. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range makes it easier to keep momentum and stay connected to support as life gets busy.

Approaches for change and how online sessions fit

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can decide what goals matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then choose techniques that fit those needs in a collaborative way.

Online therapy lets people meet from wherever they are and keeps momentum between sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can help with quick check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress.
