About Shanel
Shanel Manning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on creating clear, practical steps so clients can feel steadier day to day. Shanel writes in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions useful from the start.
Shanel draws on about ten years of experience supporting people with depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and addiction. She also helps people facing parenting strain, relationship friction, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with behavior disorders and mood-related conditions, and she uses that experience to shape realistic goals with each person. In sessions she centers the person's goals and choices. Conversations aim to identify what feels most pressing and then find small, doable changes.
She encourages people to face fears and practice new skills between meetings so progress is visible. Shanel combines practical problem solving with attention to emotions and past patterns. She helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors link, and then tries different ways to shift those links.
This often includes short-term strategies and longer-term steps to build resilience. She works with adults in Florida and offers several remote session formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.
Shanel aims to be a steady guide as people work toward clearer priorities and better daily coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Shanel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are straightforward and action oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward a life that matters, which can help with stress, mood struggles, and coping with change.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each client about what matters most, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on how it feels and what produces results. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit help into busy schedules. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options give flexibility for regular work on anxiety, stress, parenting strain, and other concerns without needing to travel.
