Shanterica Swan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She has three years of experience and has provided care in outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings. Shanterica meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and restore daily balance.

Eating and food-related issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Her work emphasizes simple, teachable skills. She uses approaches that help people manage difficult thoughts, regulate emotions, and set achievable goals. Sessions concentrate on what is useful in everyday life rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what feels most urgent. She aims to help people gain clarity, build coping skills, and increase self-compassion. Progress often looks like clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more usable routines.

Shanterica values collaboration and keeps treatment focused and practical. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs. Her background across multiple settings informs a flexible approach to common life stresses.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what feels most important to the person. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to take the lead on what they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-based CBT strategy for a few sessions, then shifting to DBT-informed emotion regulation tools if needed. The plan evolves based on what is useful in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when that's helpful. It also supports using worksheets, mood tracking, and skill practice between meetings so tools learned in sessions can be applied during the week.
