About Shannon
Shannon Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, addiction concerns, intimacy questions, and issues related to identity and mood.
Shannon frames work around clients' strengths and attachment patterns. She uses clear, goal-oriented steps when that fits a person's style. At other times she moves more slowly and listens as people sort through intense feelings and memories.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one tool she uses to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions, and on client-centered practices to keep the person's perspective central.
In sessions she may set small, measurable tasks to test new ways of coping. She sometimes invites gradual exposure to feared situations to build confidence. When needed she works with mindfulness and existential questions about meaning and values.
Shannon works with adults on a range of concerns including ADHD, gender dysphoria, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, isolation or loneliness, seasonal affective disorder, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English in Virginia and are arranged through the site's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT helps people break down problems into small steps and try concrete changes that can be reviewed in later sessions.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships influence emotions and reactions. This approach can help with relationship-related anxiety and patterns that repeat across situations. Client-centered work keeps the person's own perspective central by prioritizing their goals and what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shannon will discuss which methods feel most practical and acceptable, and then adjust based on progress and feedback. She aims to match tools to a person's goals rather than use a single method for every concern.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can practice skills between appointments without extra commuting.
