Shannon Detwiler

Shannon Detwiler is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping women who feel worn out from caring for everyone else. She is a Florida and New York LMHC and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Shannon aims to help clients reconnect with their needs and rediscover their sense of self.

Many people come to her feeling anxious, low in confidence, or burned out from over-responsibility. She listens for patterns like people-pleasing, chronic guilt, and loss of personal direction. Sessions center on identifying those patterns and making small, manageable changes that fit daily life.

Her approach blends practical skills with emotionally focused work. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and mindfulness tools to reduce struggling with difficult feelings.

In conversation, she encourages clients to practice clear boundaries and build self-trust. She works on communication skills and on understanding family of origin or attachment influences. The goal is steady progress toward more confidence and clearer priorities.

Shannon also addresses trauma, abandonment concerns, feelings of isolation, and issues around forgiveness and shame. She supports people exploring life purpose and self-love, and she offers care tailored to women navigating role strain and identity shifts.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, burnout, and confusion about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to how emotions drive connection and disconnection, which can be useful for improving communication and dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats choosing a method as a shared decision. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around that collaboration.

If you are considering online therapy, check what session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats ensures they meet your schedule and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from wherever they are located within the therapist's supported regions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques to remote sessions so clients still practice skills between meetings.
