Empathy-focused Therapist Accepting United in Tampa Bay Florida

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, misunderstood, or just not like yourself lately, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to go through it alone either. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, finding the right support can make a world of difference. As an empathy-focused therapist serving clients in Tampa Bay, Florida, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your journey toward healing.

Hi, I’m Shannon Green, LMHC

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Green Family Therapy. My work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and connection. I’ve dedicated my career to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples navigating life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a difficult experience, I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment and with genuine care.

With a background in supporting families and a foundation in evidence-based practices, I bring both professional expertise and heartfelt empathy to every session. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), always tailored to your specific needs.

What You Might Be Feeling Right Now

You might be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re constantly anxious or overwhelmed, or struggling to feel connected to yourself and others. Perhaps you’ve been through a difficult experience that left emotional scars, and now you’re wondering how to move forward.

Many of my clients come to me saying:

• “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
• “I’m tired of carrying this emotional weight.”
• “I want to feel heard and understood.”
• “I know I need help, but I’m not sure where to start.”

These feelings are valid and treatable. You’re not broken or beyond help. You’re human. And healing is possible.

What Therapy Looks Like with Me

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. My goal is to make the process feel approachable and collaborative from day one. When you work with me, you’ll find a space where you can safely explore your emotions, gain insight into your patterns, and learn practical tools to feel more in control of your life.

I specialize in helping clients navigate:

• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Depression and low self-worth
• Trauma and PTSD
• Relationship struggles
• Parenting challenges and family dynamics
• Life transitions and identity shifts

Our sessions will be grounded in empathy and focused on helping you gain clarity, reduce distress, and move toward meaningful change. I also offer trauma-informed therapy, and I integrate EMDR for anxiety, trauma healing, and emotional regulation when appropriate.

The Impact of Therapy

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strength and find your way back to yourself. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back and work toward building a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling.

Clients often share that therapy helps them:

• Feel more emotionally grounded and self-aware
• Break free from negative thought loops
• Develop healthier boundaries and relationships
• Manage anxiety with greater ease
• Heal from painful experiences and move forward
• Find clarity in their values and direction

Serving the Tampa Bay community, I take pride in offering therapy that feels real, relational, and rooted in understanding.
