More about Shannel

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a mental health counselor/therapist licensed in Louisiana and Florida with over 3 years of experience in the counseling field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, and emotional/physical abuse.

My therapy style is considered warm and empathetic. I believe in creating a safe and confidential space for individuals to express themselves. I believe in having a collaborative relationship within counseling, and providing compassion and respect to individuals. In my approach to counseling I like to combine cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy. I will honor our dialogue and create a treatment plan to meet your specific individual needs.

It takes courage and bravery to take the first steps to living a more fulfilled and joyful life. I am excited and motivated to support you on your journey. Look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
