Hi!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi and Florida, with over 12 years of experience.
I've worked with families and individuals to support them in improving their overall quality of life. I have supported clients who experience a wide range of emotional and behavior issues including depression, anxiety, communication problems, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I've also offered support to those who have been impacted by childhood trauma and/or physical and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is compassionate and interactive. I believe in extending unconditional positive regard to everyone. My approach combines mindfulness cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and client center counseling.
We will customize a treatment plan that is unique to you and your specific needs because there is no one size fits all solution.
I'm proud of you for taking steps to become happy, healthy, and whole!
Please be kind to yourself because it takes courage to seek out the mental health support you feel that you need. When you're ready to take those next steps in your healing journey, I'm here for you.
Peace and Love!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s helped me the best she can so far.
Shania was pleasant to speak with and really gave me clarity on my upcoming decision. I know I am doing the right thing.
She helped me in many ways and still helping. She easily understood my problems and give a good suggestions how to solve it. She is much more than a therapist but a friend who really understand you not judge you.
Love her! She’s amazing!
I have only had a hand full of sessions with Mrs. Barr and she is has helped me tremendously already! She is very down to earth and easy to talk too. I began counseling on better help to me help me better handle my anger, anxiety, and stress. I want to be a better example for my daughter. Mrs. Barr has given me simply tips that have made a huge difference in my everyday life and how I interact with my daughter. It’s easy for us all to face the things about ourselves that we are proud of in life but it’s not so easy addressing the things we know we need to change. The thought of talking to someone about these things can be scary. She will make you feel comfortable and welcome. Take the initiative that you need in your life to grow. You won’t regret it!
I've had a few sessions with Shania already and I LOVE HER! She is so REAL, kind, understanding, and so positive! She has really helped me in ways of gaining back my self confidence, relieving stress, and even with relationship problems. Shania does it all!
I’ve been talking with Shania for a few weeks now & I am really enjoying it. She’s easy to talk to, listens, & gives good input.
The GOAT! Shania listens, gives real deal problem solutions, and makes me feel safe and comfortable. I was very nervous about starting therapy and being able to message her first then get on a video call was an amazing way to get comfortable. She is never late and answers messages ASAP with worksheets and ways to incorporate my therapy and what I’ve learnt in tangible ways. Love her!
Shania has helped me find a steady, safe place for myself in what is probably one of the most difficult chapters of my life. It's not a great over exaggeration to say I owe my wellbeing to her work. An essential, critical healthcare provider from an important service.
