Shirley Louisor, LMHC, LPC

Shirley Louisor approaches change as a constant and focuses on helping people take practical steps to move forward while maintaining a positive, healthy mindset. She believes many answers to fears, questions, and goals become clearer through action and collaborative work with a skilled helper. She frames therapy as a cooperative process that supports clients in reaching the outcomes they want.

She holds a master’s degree in counseling from Regent University, earned in 2011. She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a national credential indicating professional standards in counseling, and she is licensed to practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. These credentials reflect her training and standing as a professional counselor.

In outpatient settings she works with individuals, families, and children, offering both group and individual services. Her background includes roles as a therapeutic day counselor in schools, an intensive in-home counselor supporting at-risk children and their families, and a facilitator of support groups for people managing depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. She also provides counseling for premarital and marital concerns, couples and family relationship issues, and for adults and adolescents seeking greater emotional balance.

Her practice emphasizes practical, client-centered support to help people cope with life’s transitions and challenges, and she draws on experience across multiple settings to tailor care to each person or family she serves.
