Shirley Louisor, LPC, LMHC
About me
Life is ever changing; the challenge is to be able to manage and keep moving forward while maintaining a positive and healthy mindset. Most of the time the answers to our questions, fears and even desires are just a matter of reaching forward to take action and working through it. Let's work together, I'm here to help.
We are communal beings and benefit from the assistance of someone coming along side us to help. That is what I believe therapy is a collaborative effort to reach your desired goals.
I am a graduate of Regent University (2011) with a Master's degree in counseling, a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida.
As an outpatient therapist, I enjoy working with individuals, families, and children. I have extensive experience working with groups, individual counseling, premarital, marital, couples, family relationships, adults, adolescents and children. I have worked with children in schools as a therapeutic day counselor, intensive in-home counselor working with at- risk children and their families.

Coming to Better Help was an emergency situation. I was moving and my last of three sons had moved out due to my move. I was in a bad place mentally. Shirley was able to see me pretty quickly. Immediately she gave me some strategies and tools to use during this life change. Shirley listens intently and offers different ways to rephrase some of my distorted thinking. I do see that my life is settling and I’m able to use some of these tools. Shirley is a great therapist and I highly recommend her.

She’s a great listener I appreciate her advise and coaching through situations in my life. Additionally, she’s a great listener & her life experiences as well as our common faith give me confidence in her skills and abilities to lead me right towards resolution.
