About Shanel
Shanel Manning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and regain control when life feels overwhelming. She works directly with individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, relationship strains, and parenting concerns. Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps that make a difference day to day.
Shanel draws on ten years of experience in clinical settings across Florida. She uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match the needs of each person.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients find tools they can use between sessions to handle triggers and build healthier routines. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals. Shanel helps people identify small, achievable changes first, then adds strategies for deeper issues such as trauma, attachment concerns, or mood instability.
She includes solution-focused techniques when clients want quicker, goal-oriented work. Her background includes work with a range of concerns from disruptive mood issues to postpartum depression and caregiver stress. That experience informs how she helps people address communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness work in practical ways.
Shanel emphasizes a transparent, empathetic working relationship. People who choose her often want clear guidance plus space to make choices. She supports exploration of values and life purpose alongside skills for managing panic, grief, and relationship tension.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer priorities and calmer days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shanel commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that match those values, which helps people find direction when stress or anger feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches hands-on strategies to reduce panic, depression, and anxiety symptoms.She treats approach selection as a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring and then suggest a mix of methods that fit your situation. Clients are invited to try strategies and give feedback so techniques can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy schedules.
