How Shannon works
Her style emphasizes clear goals and small, actionable steps rather than lengthy theory discussions. In sessions she often uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that cause distress. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.
Together these approaches are used to address grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. Shannon has seven years of experience as a social worker in North Carolina and holds the LCSW credential. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working that centers on what someone needs now.
She avoids jargon and stays focused on clear strategies people can try between meetings. People who choose Shannon can expect a collaborative process. Sessions aim to identify next steps, practice those steps, and adjust as needed.
She supports people through life changes, career stress, and the everyday pressures that get in the way of feeling well.

How Shannon Uses Practical Approaches Online
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to anxiety, depression, or anger. It often involves practicing new ways of thinking and testing small behavior changes between sessions.Solution-focused therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and steps that show quick progress. This approach looks for existing strengths and exceptions to problems, then builds brief, actionable plans people can try right away. It can be useful for parenting challenges, relationship issues, and coping with life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust based on what helps most. She guides the process and checks in on progress so plans stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to in-person conversation and work well for longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or no camera is wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or people who prefer typing. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
