About Greg
Greg Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and ADHD. He offers straightforward support for relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, work stress, and life transitions. His style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
He has worked in independent practice, rehabs, and psychiatric wards, so he has experience with a range of situations and levels of need.
Background and approach
Sessions begin with getting to know each person and building trust so real issues can be discussed openly. Greg aims to create a space where people feel heard and safe to try new strategies. Therapeutic work centers on short-term, skills-focused methods.
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set clear goals and keep momentum. Accountability and regular feedback are part of the process.
Greg tracks progress and adjusts plans when something isn’t working. The focus is on usable skills that people can apply between sessions to see practical change. He also offers coaching for people who are doing okay but want performance gains in athletics, career, or personal growth.
Greg emphasizes strengths and builds on what already works for each person.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a genuine working relationship. In practice this means sessions start with the client's concerns and goals, and the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear techniques to change thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or attention struggles. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings so skills generalize into daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options like client-centered methods and CBT, and they will choose or combine strategies based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time is tight, and text or live chat messaging supports on-the-go reflection and brief coaching. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and technical conditions, and they still allow therapists to teach skills, review progress, and adjust plans over time.
