About Antwynette
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 14 years of experience, Antwynette Shields focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, parenting, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She uses person-centered methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for clients in the United States; international clients are not accepted.
Shields draws on more than a decade of work in public and private mental health settings. She centers sessions on the client's perspective and priorities. Clients are encouraged to name what matters most to them and to bring real problems into each meeting for practical discussion.
Her person-centered orientation emphasizes listening and respect for the client's own expertise about their life. ACT is used to help clients clarify values and practice flexible responses to painful thoughts and feelings. Together these approaches shape conversations that move from understanding toward small, doable steps.
She has experience addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, family problems, and matters around divorce and infidelity. Other focus areas include caregiver stress, first responder issues, fatherhood concerns, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, and forgiveness. Shielding away from labels, the work aims to address the specific problems a person brings.
Sessions make room for discussing practical coping skills for daily life, improving communication, and managing strong emotions such as anger and grief. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and practice responding differently to painful thoughts and feelings. In brief, ACT focuses on values and small behavioral steps that connect daily choices to what a person cares about. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and making room for the client's perspective. That approach centers conversations on the client's priorities and lived experience.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Sessions typically mix talking through current problems with simple exercises aimed at increasing psychological flexibility and improving day-to-day coping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, turn a short break at work into a check-in, or avoid travel time. Some formats are better for quieter conversations while others may be shorter or require less bandwidth, so checking the available options helps match practical needs with therapeutic goals.
