About Shannon
Shannon Oberndorf is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and addictions. Shannon also helps with grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.
Shannon uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside attachment-based and client-centered techniques to make changes that feel doable.
Sessions focus on small, concrete steps. That might mean testing a different response, practicing a new communication skill, or tracking sleep and mood patterns. Mindfulness and some psychodynamic ideas also appear when exploring past patterns that affect current relationships and coping.
Shannon has two decades of experience working with adults and families in Colorado settings. Her background includes supporting people with first responder stress, caregiver strain, blended family issues, and family of origin difficulties. She aims to help clients build clearer communication and stronger boundaries.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and decide together whether CBT, attachment work, client-centered methods, or a mix fits best. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as those options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, shorten follow-up check-ins, or choose a quieter setup that reduces travel time. Talk with Shannon about scheduling and the practical details so sessions can fit into everyday life.
