About Shaunique

Shaunique Brown is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also helps with self-esteem, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of relational and life purpose issues such as communication problems, family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care, and fertility or immigration-related stressors. Her background includes work across community mental health, schools, residential substance abuse programs, day treatment, and independent practice.

Her therapeutic stance centers on warmth, respect, and collaboration, meeting clients where they are and balancing insight-oriented work with practical symptom relief. Shaunique draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor plans that fit each person’s goals.

She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and attends to diverse life experiences while supporting clients through change. If someone is ready to pursue greater wellbeing, she aims to partner with them to build skills, clarify values, and strengthen coping resources.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Shaunique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve coping in day-to-day situations. ACT emphasizes valued living and mindfulness skills, helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaunique works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends techniques from CBT, ACT, and other methods to create a plan that fits each person’s circumstances and pace. She aims to adapt tools so they feel practical and relevant for the client’s life.

Online therapy with her can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without travel, enable brief check-ins or in-depth sessions, and allow clients to practice skills between meetings in ways that suit their daily routines.
