About Shannon
She primarily uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and change responses that keep problems going. Sessions are task-oriented and often include homework people can use between meetings. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused tools to build coping skills and small, achievable changes.
Shannon has five years of professional experience and holds a Master of Science in Counseling. That background supports work on a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship stress, trauma and grief. She also addresses issues like parenting strain, career stress, self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
Her practice pays attention to how early relationships and family history affect current patterns. This includes work around attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, and family of origin issues. Clients also bring concerns about body image, codependency, control, and forgiveness.
Shannon invites people to talk honestly about their goals and what feels most helpful. The first meeting is a consultation to understand needs and outline a path forward. She offers straightforward feedback and a treatment plan when continuing with therapy feels right.

How specific approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and test them in daily life. CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce stress and make problems feel more manageable. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and calm reactivity, which helps with anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaborative process guides whether CBT, mindfulness, or brief solution-focused steps become the main focus of sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so techniques learned in sessions can be applied immediately.
