About Shanel
Shanel Manning is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with mood, or wrestling with relationship and parenting concerns. Her style is straightforward and centered on each person's goals and values.
She uses practical tools to help people gain clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Sessions often include talking through problems, learning new ways to cope, and setting small steps that add up.
How Shanel works
Shanel draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral strategies to guide this process. In sessions she prioritizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship. She listens for what matters most and helps clients name helpful next steps.
That might mean skills for panic or depression, ways to handle grief or trauma, or plans for clearer communication at home or work. Shanel has worked across a range of concerns including addiction, intimacy and sexual issues, bipolar disorder, postpartum mood struggles, and caregiver stress. She also addresses attachment challenges, blended family stress, and control or jealousy issues.
The aim is to help people move toward goals that feel meaningful to them. Her background includes formal training and a decade of clinical practice in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in different online formats.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that fits their schedule.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction after life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce panic, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and therapist collaborate to choose which methods fit best for the situation and personality.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when possible, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, live chat is useful for focused problem-solving, and text messaging supports shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work during transitions or relocation.
