About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, and bipolar mood management. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps rather than vague theory.
Shannon uses straightforward, problem-focused strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with solution-focused and client-centered techniques to identify patterns and try different responses. That often looks like setting small goals, tracking thoughts and testing new behaviors between sessions.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling. Over the past decade she has worked in multiple practice settings with adults, adolescents, families, and at-risk youth, which informs how she approaches relationship and family concerns.
In sessions she listens for the practical problems behind strong emotions. Then she helps clients break those problems into manageable steps. Expect a clear plan, specific skills to practice, and regular check-ins on progress.
Shannon also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoptive and foster care challenges, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, infidelity, and first responder stress. She supports people working through guilt, shame, commitment worries, and communication breakdowns.
Her style emphasizes action and reflection. Clients who prefer concrete tools, measurable goals, and a direct focus on habits and thinking patterns tend to find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits with specific exercises and between-session practice. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on building on what already works to create forward momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals and preferences. That means trying concrete tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting techniques over time based on results and feedback.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not stated here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow work on thought records, behavior experiments, and goal tracking between meetings so progress can continue between sessions.
