About Shannon
She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar concerns are also part of her work.

Shannon uses a collaborative process. She and the person she is working with pick tools together and tailor a plan to fit each situation. Mindfulness and yoga are options she can include for those who want a broader approach to mental wellness.
Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential approaches, EMDR, and the Gottman Method. Sessions emphasize respectful dialogue, cultural sensitivity, and practical skills that can be tried between meetings.
Shannon has experience in hospitals, emergency departments, and university settings. She has also provided support to military members and law enforcement and their families. Her aim is to empower people to move from getting by to living in ways that reflect their goals and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. It focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and helping them find their own solutions, which can help with stress, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions to fit those needs in a collaborative way.
