About Shannon
Much of Shannon’s background comes from work in school settings where she supported children, teens, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and related mental health needs. That experience informs a practical, developmentally attuned approach to care that considers everyday life demands and family dynamics.
Shannon approaches therapy from a perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story, focusing on strengths and existing resources to address challenges. She invites clients to take courageous steps toward greater fulfillment and well-being and offers steady support throughout that process. Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with collaborative listening to help clients identify goals and practical strategies for change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shannon draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with feelings of abandonment, trust, and connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening, supporting clients to discover their own goals and strengths. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shannon works collaboratively with clients to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives by making sessions accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect from their preferred environment, fit sessions into varied schedules, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver the therapeutic approaches above while focusing on practical strategies and supportive dialogue.
