About Shannon
Shannon LaTray is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She uses straightforward, person-focused work to help people face stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with addiction. Shannon aims to make each session feel like a practical step forward.
She leans on client-centered therapy to build a trusting space where people can speak openly. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Shannon works
Emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing help when relationships, attachment, or ambivalence about change are part of the problem. Shannon helps people who are coping with grief, trauma, or life transitions find steady ground. She supports work on self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and challenges like sleep or eating disruptions.
She also addresses areas such as codependency, communication problems, and impulsivity in a clear, goal-oriented way. Sessions often include practical tools, short-term goal setting, and skills practice to manage symptoms day to day. She works collaboratively to tailor plans that fit each person’s life and goals.
Her approach balances emotional understanding with techniques that produce visible changes. Shannon practices as an LMHC in New Jersey. She provides services in English and offers multiple online session formats for flexibility.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy to meet you where you are
Shannon uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where people can talk through concerns and decide what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients connect with their own strengths and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems, and day-to-day coping. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and relationship patterns by helping people notice and name feelings and interaction cycles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques and plan steps that match the client's pace and life demands rather than assuming a single method fits everyone.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy work and visual connection, while phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and staying connected between sessions. These options let clients fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
