About Me

SHAWN PEDANI, LISW-S

LICENSED IN OHIO AND (telehealth in) FLORIDA

As a licensed therapist in the state of Ohio by the Ohio Counselor, Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapist Board now for nearly 20 years, I provide professional mental health online counseling for individuals throughout Ohio.

I help teens and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, and intense emotions. Using a structured, practical approach, I guide my clients in understanding their patterns, managing emotions, and building healthier ways of coping. My style is supportive and straightforward—I focus on what’s actually helpful so you can start feeling better and more in control. If you're struggling with stress, relationships, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to help you find balance and move forward with confidence.

My goal is to help you understand and manage your emotions in a way that makes life feel easier and more balanced. I use a structured, practical approach to help you recognize unhelpful patterns, build flexibility in how you think and respond, and develop skills to handle whatever life throws your way. Therapy with me is about real, lasting change—not just quick fixes—so you can feel more in control and confident in yourself.
