She writes practical plans with each person and focuses on skills that can be used day to day. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful of where each person is right now.
Shannon uses short-term strategies alongside mindfulness and strengths-focused work. She helps people notice thought patterns, try new behaviors, and build simple routines for calmer days.
Background and approach
Sessions include quick skill practice and discussions about what worked between meetings. Her approach mixes cognitive methods with solution-focused techniques and mindfulness-based stress reduction. That means conversations about thinking and behavior, paired with small experiments and breathing or grounding exercises.
Positive psychology ideas are woven in to help people identify what matters and what gives them energy. Shannon also incorporates faith-informed perspectives when a client wants that included. She prioritizes collaboration, so goals are set together and adjusted as progress happens.
The work is paced to match each person’s needs and comfort level. Shannon has eight years of counseling experience and is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LPC, which shows a career spent supporting people through common and complex concerns. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Shannon uses cognitive-based methods that help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach breaks problems into small steps and trains practical skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.She also draws on mindfulness-based stress reduction to teach breathing, grounding, and attention exercises. These techniques are simple to practice between sessions and can reduce reactivity in moments of panic or high stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that match the person's needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works best for the individual.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a good option for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and different ways to engage in the work.
