About Shannon

Shannon Young is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Shannon also supports those struggling with focus and attention concerns such as ADHD and related difficulties with memory or concentration.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations aim to identify what feels most urgent and practical steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Shannon emphasizes a partnership model where clients and therapist set goals together and track progress over time. Shannon pays attention to how attachment patterns and communication habits shape relationships. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of connecting and speaking up.

That work often reduces isolation and eases social anxiety. When life changes feel overwhelming, Shannon helps break problems into manageable pieces. She uses short-term strategies for coping and longer-term skills for handling future stressors.

Sessions also include tools for improving concentration and daily routines for people with attention challenges. People meet with Shannon by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She offers a collaborative environment and practical steps aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable and connected.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Shannon uses a mix of evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and clearer communication. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and mood through short, focused exercises and coping strategies that you can use between sessions. This helps when worry or low mood interfere with daily routines and sleep.

Another strand of work addresses attachment and communication patterns. That approach looks at how early and current relationship habits shape reactions today, and it practices new ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. It can be useful for reducing loneliness, social anxiety, and repeated conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which techniques match your goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps you feel better and what fits your life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps when you want to write out thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing days.
