About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her manner is direct and warm, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She uses plain language and an interactive style in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find their own solutions.
Background and approach
That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways to talk about feelings, or trying short, focused experiments between sessions. Bobbie draws on several approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools. She adapts these tools to fit a person’s goals rather than following a rigid formula.
Sessions often include skill teaching, real-time problem solving, and clear steps to practice at home. Her background includes many years in mental health settings and in independent practice, giving her a wide base of experience with mood problems, trauma, relationship issues, and life changes. She also works with people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and family-of-origin problems.
Bobbie practices in North Carolina and provides therapy in English. She approaches each person as an active partner in therapy and aims to help them move toward greater clarity and functioning.
Approach choices and online therapy options
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace to follow the concerns they bring. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to ease anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people name and shift those patterns to improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose strategies that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try approaches, adjust as needed, and check progress so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, ongoing support and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments.
