About Shanterica

Shanterica Swan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings three years of clinical experience across outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, or challenges with emotional regulation and overthinking.

Background and approach

Her background includes practical, skills-based work that translates into everyday coping tools and strategies. Her style blends practical interventions with empathic listening, aiming to make therapy feel applicable and manageable.

Shanterica emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and teaches techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral frameworks alongside mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills. She focuses on helping clients cultivate emotional balance, clearer thinking, and greater self-compassion while addressing concerns such as trauma, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Sessions are offered through remote formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Shanterica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shanterica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. She integrates client-centered principles to ensure goals and techniques reflect each person's preferences and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access consistent care from different locations. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to maintain momentum during life transitions while accommodating varying routines and needs.
