Hello Clients!
I am Shanorah!
I am a Master's Level Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) at Relearn Counseling in Florida. I have been a clinician for the last 5 years in community mental health settings supporting clients from diverse background managing their life stressors and diagnoses. I am specialized in life changes, anxiety, depression and grief/trauma.
I have been trained in CBT, CPT, LSR, TIR, and others.
Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.
I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.
I provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which we explore stressors, thought patterns and feelings that may be contributing to your challenges. Through a strong therapeutic relationship based on respect and empowerment, we will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing and to develop goals deemed most useful in moving you forward to a positive outcome.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gainesville
Searching for therapists in Gainesville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Gainesville therapists may list experience with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist works, what sessions may feel like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.
In a smaller city like Gainesville, local in-person therapy options may be more limited by neighborhood, schedule, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. When narrowing your options, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus in one place.
Therapy in Gainesville can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists in Gainesville, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
