About Shannon
Shannon Samuel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and feeling stuck. She talks plainly and listens closely so people can start to make small, useful changes. Her work is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at real progress rather than jargon.
With ten years of experience and a master's degree in counseling, Shannon draws on practical tools that fit each person. She supports people dealing with trauma, mood issues, parenting strain, and career crossroads.
How Shannon works
She also addresses concerns like abandonment, caregiver stress, control issues, and life purpose. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters most to them.
Shannon helps people name their feelings, sort through thoughts, and try small experiments to see what helps. She uses a mix of methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps. Those methods are used in simple, everyday language to help with mood, relationships, and coping after loss or trauma.
Shannon offers a space where people can be honest without judgment. She helps build practical habits and clearer thinking so people feel more in control. If someone is curious but unsure what therapy looks like, Shannon guides them through the first steps and meets them where they are.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. It helps people feel heard, clarify their priorities, and decide what matters most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful habits and improve mood and coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That might mean combining listening-focused sessions with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness and solution-focused steps based on what helps most. Online sessions offer practical benefits for people juggling busy schedules or limited time. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to changing routines and needs.Start online instead of waiting
