About Shannon
Shannon Chenier is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. She meets people where they are and encourages them to build on strengths already in their life. Shannon knows starting therapy can feel hard and validates that first step as an act of courage.
She draws on straightforward, practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and handle life changes. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can practice between meetings, and honest conversation about what is and isn’t working.
How Shannon works
That makes therapy feel more like a partnership than a lecture. With three years of clinical experience, Shannon uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to make changes and stay motivated.
These methods are practical and goal-oriented. Shannon works with a range of concerns including addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career stress, relationships, and family issues. She speaks English and is available to work with international clients when schedules allow.
Her practice offers a mix of session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to start can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule visits based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches work online
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems active. CBT breaks challenges down into small steps and offers practical tools to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build commitment at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before to decide which methods to try. That helps shape a plan together and keeps therapy focused on what matters to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and adapt care to changing schedules and needs.
