How Shannon works
Motivational interviewing is used to support change and commitment. Shannon often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop healthier habits. She blends this with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep work grounded in each person's strengths and experience.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Shannon and a client create a treatment plan together that fits real life and daily demands.
She aims for steps that people can try between sessions to make steady progress. With four years of clinical experience, Shannon focuses on helping people regain stability after big life changes. She pays attention to how family background, caregiving roles, and past trauma affect current stress.
Her work centers on practical skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Shannon draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. She also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening, reflecting, and building goals that matter to the individual. These methods pair well with motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and practical steps toward recovery.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will work with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are designed for flexibility and access. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation helps. Phone sessions offer a lighter option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when a brief conversation fits a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
