About Shan
Shan Croft is a Georgia licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Shan takes a practical, straightforward approach so conversations stay focused and helpful.
Her style is collaborative and direct while remaining supportive. She helps people notice and reframe thoughts, feelings, and patterns that get in the way of everyday life. Sessions are tailored to the person’s goals and pace rather than following a single script.
How Shan works
Shan uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work. That mix lets her shift between exploring a person’s story and building concrete skills for coping and change. She also brings attention to issues like attachment, abandonment, codependency, and multicultural concerns when they are relevant.
People often come for help with communication problems, intimacy-related issues, infidelity, grief, career concerns, or stress and burnout. Shan also supports work on life purpose, self-love, and women's issues alongside addictions and bipolar-related challenges when needed. Session lengths are offered as 30 or 45 minutes, and she can adapt to shorter meetings when appropriate.
When someone is ready to begin, Shan guides them through a clear first step toward scheduling and goal setting.

Online support options
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. Plans can be adjusted as work proceeds so the approach stays relevant to the client's needs.
Online therapy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping focus on clear goals and practical steps.
