About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Holliker uses an approach that centers relationships and practical change. She blends attachment-informed work with problem-solving strategies so parents and individuals can make clear, real-life shifts.
She aims for honest conversation and steady progress rather than long, confusing lists of tasks. She focuses on parenting concerns and issues that touch family life, including adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and attachment questions. She also helps with anxiety, stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, addictions, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to young children and the ways family dynamics affect development. Her background includes a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Affairs with a social work focus, a Master of Social Work, and a second master’s in Child Development and Education. Those degrees shaped her teaching and research in mental health and early childhood.
She has twelve years of clinical experience working with these kinds of concerns. In sessions she uses clear, direct conversation. She encourages naming difficult feelings and celebrating small wins.
She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to set goals and try new habits. Therapy can be short-term or longer depending on goals. She works with each person to set measurable goals and check progress along the way.
Her practice in Florida offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging for people who prefer to meet remotely.

Online support
How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early relationships shape current closeness and trust. In practice this means talking about patterns in relationships and trying new behaviors to improve connection and safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions; it uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s concerns at the center and uses reflective listening to help them find their own solutions.Choosing the approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for attachment work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, progress tracking, or quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or medical schedules while working toward clear goals.
