About Antwynette
Antwynette Shields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 14 years of experience. She takes a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy and nonjudgment. She creates a supportive space where clients can talk through their feelings and decide their own next steps.
Shields focuses on common and pressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. She also helps people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and infidelity. Her core approach centers on person-centered care, paired with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies. That means clients work to clarify their values, notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and practice actions that match what matters most to them.
Sessions are aimed at helping people manage and express emotions more effectively, including anger and grief. Shields draws on experience from both public and personal mental health settings. She emphasizes warmth, authenticity, and practical steps clients can use between sessions.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who want to start are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button. A short matching questionnaire comes next, followed by scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It teaches noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that fit personal goals. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and warmth so people can make sense of their experience and decide what feels right for them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions involve checking what works and adjusting methods over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work, caregiving, or school schedules. Online formats can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between meetings, helping people practice emotion management and communication skills in real life.
