About Shannon

Dr. Shannon Holliker offers a warm, straightforward approach to therapy that centers on honest conversation and practical goals. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience and works from a place of support and steady guidance.

Many people come to therapy unsure what they need, and she aims to make that first step easier to take. Her style focuses on clear dialogue about feelings, thoughts, and daily challenges.

How Shannon works

She helps people identify small wins and track progress toward concrete goals. She believes not every problem needs long explorations of the past and adjusts the approach to the person in front of her. Shannon holds a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus, and two master’s degrees in Social Work and in Child Development and Education.

That background informs her work with parents and with early childhood concerns. She has provided therapy and interventions for young children and their caregivers, often when stress or trauma affects family routines. In individual sessions she supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.

She also addresses parenting worries, fertility-related stress, workplace strain, and issues related to attention and compulsive behaviors. Sessions emphasize practical strategies people can use between meetings. Therapy is collaborative.

She helps set measurable goals and checks progress together. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are offered in English and via several online formats.

Online support options

Using practical approaches in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close connections and build more helpful ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. Sessions begin with a conversation about needs and progress is checked regularly so methods can be adjusted together.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support deeper, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching between sessions, and easier scheduling around work or childcare. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
