About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Holliker is an LCSW in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues like compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and workplace stress.
She uses straightforward conversation to sort through problems. Sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying new ways of responding. She emphasizes tracking small gains so progress is visible and practical steps can be used between meetings.
Dr. Holliker holds a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus and two master’s degrees in Social Work and in Child Development and Education. That background supports work with parents and very young children and with families managing medical or developmental stress. Her training informs how she connects typical parenting strains to child behavior and family patterns.
In therapy she blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people change habits, manage anxiety, and set achievable goals. Sessions often include concrete skills practice and problem-focused strategies.
People meeting her can expect a focus on clear goals, measurable steps, and checking progress over time. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what methods to try and how long to continue. The overall aim is to reduce distress and increase practical coping in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Holliker commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in practical, goal-focused ways. CBT involves noticing specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood, and then trying alternative responses and new coping skills. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in current family and parenting situations, and helps people change interaction patterns with their children or partners.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills training, addressing relationship patterns, or a mix of approaches across sessions.
