About Shannon
Shannon Rosenbauer uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She combines talk, practical steps, and mindfulness to help people manage grief, stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Shannon holds an MD and is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland, LCSW-C.
She brings 12 years of experience to sessions and meets people where they are. Her style is straightforward and focused on what matters now. She helps people facing chronic or life-threatening illness, caregiving strain, and hospice or end-of-life concerns.
How Shannon works
She also supports work on relationships, family problems, parenting challenges, and separation or divorce. Shannon blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. That means she helps identify unhelpful thoughts and then tries small, practical experiments to change daily habits.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or have trouble making changes. In longer work she draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that affect present choices. That can help with issues like abandonment, guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
Treatment is adapted to each person’s goals and pace. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Shannon encourages clear steps you can try between meetings, and she checks progress as you go.
She aims to be a steady partner while you rebuild confidence and find ways to cope with life’s changes.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Shannon commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. Sessions emphasize understanding your goals and building plans that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent tool; it breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tries small changes that make daily life easier.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss options and help decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions and send brief updates. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent around busy or changing schedules.
