About Greg
Greg Shannon is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma.

Greg also offers performance-focused coaching for career, athletics, and personal growth.
He creates a warm, empathic space where people can speak openly without fear of judgment. Conversation starts with getting to know each person and understanding what matters most to them.
Background and approach
From there he helps set realistic goals and practical steps to move forward. Greg draws on straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions emphasize strengths, accountability, and feedback so progress is visible and measurable.
The work often includes small exercises to try between meetings. Having worked in independent practice, rehabs, and psychiatric settings, he brings a range of clinical perspectives to each case. That variety helps when situations are complex or when people have tried other approaches without lasting change.
People who meet with Greg can expect clear communication and a collaborative pace. He helps clients weigh options, practice new skills, and track whether those steps are improving daily life. If someone is ready to take a next step, he offers steady support through the process.
How Greg’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.The choice of approach is a collaboration. Greg will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan based on feedback and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing things out helps. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
