She also supports those coping with addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career transitions, ADHD, and life changes.

She strives to make sessions a calm place to talk through strong emotions without judgment. Conversations center on what matters now and on skills that can reduce emotional overwhelm.
Background and approach
Shwanna emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable changes that build confidence over time. Her work draws on client-centered principles to honor each person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. With six years of professional experience, she blends practical techniques with steady listening. Sessions are meant to feel collaborative, with the client and counselor planning the next steps together.
The result is a tailored plan that fits daily life and personal priorities. Shwanna offers services in English and practices from Georgia.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and support while helping clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship stress, grief, and feelings of isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or anger and then practice different ways of thinking and acting. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for stress, depression, and problematic habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness that can help with anger and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing, flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
