Prof A. Whitney Shea

Licensed Professional Counselor

“Taking advantage of the very real benefit of being able to meet up from day one in a place of ease, comfort and hope.”

About Me

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, yet this practice cultivates a space of immediate ease. From your first meeting, the focus is on creating comfort and hope. This welcoming approach is a key session feature, ensuring a gentle foundation for exploration. Clients who value a reassuring start to their journey will find a good match here. This allows them to confidently explore their concerns.

Approach

Early sessions create a calm, reassuring tone that quickly shifts into collaborative planning—gentle pacing helps you name priorities and notice what matters most. I offer work in Tampa and English-language online sessions to fit relocation, pregnancy, or busy lives. Sessions focus on short, practical steps: skill-building for anxiety and OCD patterns, structured support around eating and fertility concerns, and brief between-session experiments that reflect your spiritual or identity needs. Those facing transitions, identity questions, or fertility stress tend to find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
