About

Shannon Detwiler, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida who supports women who feel worn down from being the dependable one for everyone else. Many of the women she works with have spent years managing responsibilities, holding families together, and staying strong through stress, anxiety, and constant demands - only to realize they have become disconnected from their own needs, identity, and self-worth.

In therapy, Shannon helps clients make sense of the guilt that can surface when prioritizing themselves and the uncertainty that comes with not knowing what they truly want anymore. These concerns often connect with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and burnout, especially when long-standing patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and over-responsibility have taken root.

Shannon’s work centers on helping women reconnect with who they are beneath roles, expectations, and old survival strategies. Together, they explore what keeps clients stuck, process past experiences, and build the confidence and self-trust needed to set healthier boundaries and strengthen relationships. Shannon aims to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can rediscover their voice and move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and aligned with themselves.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Shannon Detwiler integrates structured, skills-based work with a supportive, person-centered style to help clients address stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and self-doubt by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new, more workable responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds on mindfulness and values-based action, helping clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people navigating overwhelm, intense emotions, and boundary challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works collaboratively with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, adjusting the pace and tools to fit the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
