How Shannon works
Shannon draws from several approaches depending on what a person needs. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally-focused techniques to address difficult feelings in relationships. Mindfulness and narrative methods also appear when helpful to notice patterns and reshape personal stories.
Her background includes 16 years in a range of counseling settings and work with culturally diverse people. That variety informs how she adapts exercises and examples to each person’s life. The emphasis is on respectful, realistic steps that fit daily routines.
Sessions aim to be structured but flexible. Shannon helps people set small goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track progress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person so they feel heard and understood; it helps with issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches clear exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-focused ideas are also used when relationship feelings and repair are central concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The work is paced to match the person’s needs, with regular check-ins to see what is and isn’t useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
