About Greg
Greg Shannon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting issues, grief, ADHD, and related challenges. He also offers coaching for performance in career, athletics, and personal growth.
Greg uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and tracking whether those changes help. Sessions include direct feedback and accountability so progress can be observed and adjusted.
His approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, client-centered work, and solution-focused techniques. That mix is used to build concrete skills like emotion regulation, coping during life changes, relapse prevention, and clearer communication in relationships. Sessions tend to emphasize short-term tools and measurable steps.
Greg has worked in private practice, residential rehabs, and psychiatric hospital settings. That range gives experience with both short-term focused work and longer-term support for chronic mental health concerns. He aims to make sessions practical and goal-driven so people can apply what they learn between meetings.
People who prefer direct coaching and structured therapy often find his style matches their needs. He asks questions, offers behavioral experiments, and checks progress over time. To begin, readers should review available online therapy options and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Greg commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered methods inform how he listens and sets collaborative goals, while motivational interviewing helps with readiness for change and substance use concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, and then suggest approaches to try. That lets the client and therapist adjust the plan if a method is not a good fit.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let skills be practiced in the client’s usual routine. Licensed professionals can use that flexibility to help clients apply new tools between meetings.
