About Shanterica

’Hi, I’m Shanterica Swan, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience providing therapy in outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings. I work with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained internally.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, mood concerns, and difficulties with overthinking or emotional regulation. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, mindfulness, and skills-based interventions, with an emphasis on practical tools for everyday life. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported in building emotional balance, clarity, and confidence.

What clients say

I highly recommend her approach. It’s not easy to find simplicity in therapy sometimes yet somehow she is able to translate to simple terms complex dynamics and suggest simple guidance and steps to create a sense of trust in myself, her support has really carried me through some tough moments. I’m thankful that I found a competent and caring therapist ngl. 🫶🏼”
