About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Hunter is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 19 years of practice in Texas. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, manage depression and addictions, and cope with major life changes.
Her approach centers on building practical skills and clearer ways to handle day-to-day struggles. Hunter blends talk therapy with psychoeducational tools to teach coping strategies that fit each person. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based methods to create step-by-step plans.
How Shannon works
Sessions aim to identify patterns, test new habits, and track small improvements over time. Her career spans education and mental health settings, including independent practice, clinics, integrated health centers, state facilities, and university campuses. That range shaped a calm, professional style that emphasizes active listening and supportive feedback.
She favors straightforward language and concrete exercises rather than jargon. People can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where practical skills are prioritized. Hunter often uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based insights alongside client-centered principles to tailor each session.
The focus is on what helps a person feel steadier and more able to cope. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule appointments based on availability.

Approaches for online work and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them while learning skills to ride out difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, sleeping and eating concerns, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and supports developing healthier ways of relating and managing emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try methods that fit the person and adjust as needed. Sessions include practice and homework so clients can test new skills between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing coaching, quick reflections, or those who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
