About Shannon
Shannon Dahse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and changes in life. Parents and individuals concerned about relationships, grief, addiction, or low self-esteem can expect straightforward support focused on practical coping skills.
Shannon uses clear, goal-oriented work to find what helps each person most. She listens without judgment and helps people notice strengths they may be overlooking.
How Shannon works
Sessions focus on developing tools for managing panic, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and overwhelming guilt or shame. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she supports people in naming their thoughts and testing new ways of responding.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone is ready to make changes or wants short-term, practical strategies. Shannon emphasizes skills people can use between sessions. She helps clients build routines, calm-down plans, and simple behavioral experiments.
This keeps work moving forward outside of appointments and makes progress more visible. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shannon speaks English and practices in New Jersey as an LPC.

How Shannon’s Approaches Work Online
Shannon frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and supported. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a shared task. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn't working, she adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant to real-life concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, follow-ups, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
