About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is an OK LMFT with eight years of clinical experience in Oklahoma. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and substance-related issues. She also supports those facing challenges with self-esteem, intimacy, sleeping and eating, and life changes such as caregiving or cancer-related adjustment.
Shantel uses straightforward, skills-based methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions to help people notice automatic thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening also shape her work, so clients' stories guide the goals and pace.
Sessions often include practical exercises, behavior experiments, and targeted coping strategies. For trauma-related concerns she may integrate EMDR-informed techniques alongside other approaches when appropriate. She routinely addresses practical problems like communication, boundaries, and daily routines as part of emotional change.
Her background emphasizes work with parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and abandonment or attachment struggles. She also addresses longer-term conditions such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder with attention to symptom management and daily functioning.
Shantel offers services in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shantel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify automatic thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT sessions often include short exercises, behavior experiments, and homework to try between meetings, which can make progress feel concrete and trackable.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions. That approach helps people notice interaction habits and practice different ways of relating. Client-centered methods keep the conversation grounded in the person's own priorities and pacing, so goals are set collaboratively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shantel discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision, and adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can happen around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can also use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult, but confirm what Shantel offers prior to scheduling.
