Shawnci Linton, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Shawnci!

My clinical background includes working with adults who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and adjustment disorders. I utilize a multidimensional approach to therapy, focusing on the client within the context of their environment.

My focus

Areas of expertise with adults include stress and money management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, lack of motivation and purpose, low self-esteem, and personal development skills.

My approach

I foster a safe and nonjudgmental environment, focusing on the unique challenges and needs that may present at any moment during the helping process. Common theoretical approaches I enjoy include solution-focused therapy, CBT, and mindfulness therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, empathic, and engaged. I listen actively to ensure clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Building rapport to support clients' ability to safely express their thoughts, values, and beliefs is a top priority.

My journey to mental healthcare

I often say, "Therapy chose me, I didn't choose therapy." Supporting people through difficult times has always come naturally to me. The ability to empathize, listen, and provide unbiased solutions to aid people in living a life with meaning is priceless.

My goals for you

By collaborating with the client to develop a unique treatment plan, which prioritizes the client's needs, desires, goals, and objectives.

Our first session

The initial session will be an opportunity to discuss presenting concerns that lead you to therapy. It will also serve as an introduction to the collaborative therapeutic process, expectations, and a brief overview of your treatment goals and objectives.
