About Shannon

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

Shannon uses straightforward conversation to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps people name what they are thinking and trying small changes to see what shifts. Sessions tend to be practical and work-focused, with time spent on tools that can be used between meetings.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and test new responses. She also uses client-centered methods, existential ideas about meaning, Jungian perspectives on symbols and personal story, and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. These approaches are woven together to suit each persons situation.
Shannon keeps meetings direct and grounded. She asks about current struggles, sets concrete goals, and tracks progress over time. Conversations explore both practical coping skills and deeper questions about purpose and identity.
People who want clear steps and evidence-based thinking will find this style useful. Shannon welcomes people who are ready to try different ways of responding to stress and to work toward clearer priorities and steadier mood.
How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and exploring what matters to the person, helping clarify goals and values in real time.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Shannon will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a practical plan. She aims to involve the client in choosing methods and pacing so the work feels achievable and focused.
