Background and approach

Shannon helps people name what is most pressing and try small changes that can reduce distress. Her background includes licensure in Alaska and Kentucky and many years working with mood concerns and loss. That experience informs a straightforward style that balances problem-solving with emotional support.

Shannon pays attention to how relationships and culture affect what people bring to therapy. In session she listens first and helps clients set realistic goals. Conversations often include examining patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and tracking progress between meetings.

She helps with issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and codependency. Shannon also supports people facing jealousy, infidelity, midlife transitions, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and the strain of isolation. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

The focus is on usable tools and clearer thinking that fit daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. One approach centers on learning coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, pacing, and step-by-step strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase functioning. Another common focus is mood work that helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses to lift mood and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works together with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts the plan as needs change and checks in on what is or isn’t helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
