About Shannon
Shannon Crandall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions practical and understandable. Shannon offers video, phone, chat, and text options for therapy to fit different needs.
Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build different ways of responding. She breaks goals into small, doable steps and checks progress each session.
How Shannon works
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with tools people can use between meetings. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She has experience supporting people dealing with ADHD, career stress, and life purpose questions too.
She helps people talk through family problems, communication struggles, and the stress of caregiving. Shannon brings seven years of clinical experience to her current work in Missouri. She holds an LCSW credential and has worked across different settings earlier in her career.
That background informs her practical approach to common life and mood concerns. People who prefer a direct, structured style tend to benefit from her approach. She works with clients to set clear goals, practice new skills, and track what changes over time.
Sessions aim for steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How CBT and online sessions fit together
CBT helps people notice thoughts that make stress and anxiety worse and then test and reframe those thoughts. It uses practical exercises and small experiments that people can try between sessions to reduce worry and improve mood.Shannon focuses on clear, structured steps in sessions. She and the client set specific goals, practice new skills, and review progress together. This collaborative process helps decide which techniques suit a person’s needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, real-time written exercises, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use CBT tools in everyday situations. The therapist and client can try different formats and adjust as goals and schedules change.
