About Shimyne
Shimyne Homidas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with seven years of experience based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, depression, and life transitions such as divorce or job loss. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Shimyne favors practical, client-centered work. She listens first, then helps people name what is causing their distress. From there she uses clear strategies to reduce immediate overwhelm and to build coping skills over time. Conversations are direct and focused on what matters in daily life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used for managing strong emotions and improving coping skills. Motivational interviewing supports people who want help making a change but feel stuck.
Shimyne also integrates mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments. She works with concerns often tied to family problems, codependency, domestic violence, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She addresses practical issues like career stress, parenting strain, and feelings of isolation.

How sessions work
How her approaches work online
Shimyne uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches straightforward techniques to shift unhelpful patterns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and building distress-tolerance. DBT techniques include concrete skills such as grounding, paced breathing, and emotion regulation strategies that can be practiced between sessions. These methods are useful for anger, high stress, and relationship strain.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Shimyne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may mean trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
