About Antwynette
Antwynette Shields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 14 years of experience in public and private mental health settings. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time.
She draws on a person-centered stance and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them. In practical terms that means listening first, clarifying values, and practicing ways to notice strong feelings without acting on them. That approach is often used with issues like resentment, communication problems, control struggles, and grief after separation.
Her background includes work across community and private settings over more than a decade. That experience informs how she supports people facing caregiver stress, first responder strain, fatherhood issues, and work-related pressures. She also addresses complex themes such as attachment and abandonment concerns, infidelity, and forgiveness work.
In session she aims for direct, understandable steps rather than jargon. People can expect conversations that focus on practical skills - for example clarifying what matters, building flexible responses to difficult thoughts, and practising healthier communication patterns. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
