About Shannan
Shannan Faust is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with four years of practice. She focuses on practical, day-to-day steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable first step.
She works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Shannan also helps people facing trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders.
How Shannan works
Her approach includes addressing attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Many clients come to her to talk through guilt, shame, and forgiveness, or to get help with impulsivity and problem behaviors. She also supports people navigating workplace stress, questions about life purpose, and challenges related to narcissism.
Women’s issues and building self-love are other common focuses in her work. Shannan adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with clear goals and steps to practice between meetings.
She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their calendar. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Evidence-based care through online sessions
Shannan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach centers on building coping skills and emotion regulation to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves learning specific tools to use during difficult moments and practicing them between sessions to see steady improvement.Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and its effects on daily life. This work helps people make sense of painful experiences, reduce intrusive reactions, and reestablish a sense of safety and routine. It is aimed at easing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and improving overall mood and functioning.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify priorities, set realistic goals, and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is observed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy home lives.
