Background and approach

Her work often includes problem-solving for everyday strain and coping strategies for intense emotions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build more helpful habits. Motivational interviewing techniques help people find their own reasons to change when motivation feels stuck.

Shannon also draws on client-centered principles, focusing on each person’s goals and pace. For people with trauma histories she includes trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and reactions. She adapts sessions to what a person needs that week, whether that means skill practice, talking through an event, or planning small steps forward.

Sessions can cover relationship strain, grief, identity questions, parenting stress, career stress, and many other life pressures. Shannon works in English and provides a mix of conversation, coaching-style guidance, and concrete skill practice. She describes therapy as a partnership aimed at clearer thinking and steadier coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes active listening, empathy, and building goals together so clients steer the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps when people need support naming values and making personal decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to recommend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different tools and checking what helps over time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules are tight. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, monitoring progress, and getting support between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapist's approaches in ways that feel most useful.
