About Shannon
Shannon Talley helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. She supports those facing major life changes, addiction concerns, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and the specific challenges of ADHD and compassion fatigue. Shannon also offers care for gender dysphoria, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life questions, intellectual disability, isolation and seasonal mood changes.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. Shannon believes each person knows their story best.
How Shannon works
She looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them. That can mean gentle encouragement or more active challenges, depending on what will help someone move forward. Her style blends attachment-based and client-centered ideas.
She focuses on relationships, safety, and listening without judgment. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy when people want concrete strategies for symptoms and routines. Mindfulness and existential approaches also appear in her work.
Mindfulness helps slow down overwhelming feelings. Existential conversations help people find meaning during painful or uncertain times. Sessions aim to balance support with action.
Sometimes Shannon will help a person try new ways of coping right away. Other times she will offer steady presence so someone can process grief, trauma, or difficult emotions at their own pace.

Online support options
How Shannon’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Shannon commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviors, helping people feel more supported and connected in their relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and gives practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and current needs. That collaboration means trying things and adjusting based on what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows visual connection and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, momentary support, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
