About Shimyne Homidas

Shimyne Homidas supports people facing significant life transitions such as divorce, relocation, job loss, or the end of a relationship. With seven years of clinical experience, she focuses on the emotional challenges that accompany change - fear, confusion, frustration, and the complex mix of feelings that often follow planned or unexpected shifts. Based in Florida, Shimyne creates a non-judgmental space where individuals can process thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

Shimyne brings a collaborative, strength-based approach to therapy that emphasizes clients' existing resources and capacity for growth. She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and resolve ambivalence, and she integrates empowerment-based techniques to build confidence and forward momentum. These methods are applied with attention to practical barriers and personal values so clients can better understand where they are in life and what might be keeping them from moving forward.

Shimyne holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice - reflecting advanced training in clinical social work. Her practice centers on meeting each person where they are and guiding them through transition with respect, validation, and focused strategies to support change.

Approaches for Online Support and Life Transitions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment and supporting their ability to set the pace and direction of change. It helps with feelings of uncertainty, low self-esteem, and navigating major life decisions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores and resolves ambivalence, helping people find internal motivation to pursue meaningful changes in relationships, career, or personal well-being. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Shimyne works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques so therapy fits the individual's situation rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and on schedules that suit busy lives. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to engage in therapy during transitional periods or when in-person sessions are not feasible.
