Antwynette Shields, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Antwynette

Antwynette Shields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She brings 14 years of experience working across public and personal mental health settings. Her style is warm and person-centered, focused on meeting people where they are and helping them make changes that matter.

She offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space for people to talk through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. Parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and career stress are also common topics she addresses.

Background and approach

The therapist lists a range of related issues she can help with, including attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with divorce or separation. Her work emphasizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify values and take practical steps toward goals while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.

That approach is paired with a person-centered stance that prioritizes empathy and authenticity in sessions. Sessions focus on helping clients name their priorities and try manageable change strategies. With many years in clinical settings, she draws on experience with people facing first responder stress, fatherhood concerns, HIV/AIDS related issues, and situations involving infidelity or domestic violence.

The LPC credential follows a master's degree in counseling and signals professional licensure in counseling practice. If you are exploring help for parenting stress, relationship concerns, or major life changes, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How acceptance-based and person-centered work translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, practical steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and emotions. In practice this means naming personal priorities, trying specific behavioral experiments, and noticing thoughts without being driven by them. Person-centered work centers empathy and listening, offering space to speak and be heard as clients sort through feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify whether acceptance-based tools, a person-centered stance, or a mix of techniques fits best. Goals, life demands, and personal preferences guide the choice so the work feels useful and realistic.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce commute time, and allow a quicker check-in from a short break at work. It also lets people continue care if they have moved or face travel constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt acceptance-based exercises and person-centered conversations to a remote setting to keep progress moving forward.
