About Shannon

She works with adults facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, and career questions.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most and helps turn small changes into steady progress. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what’s already working and set clear goals.

Sessions aim to be action-oriented with room for reflection and problem solving. With seven years of experience and an LCSW credential, Shannon offers steady clinical judgment and calm support. She practices in North Carolina and works with people across a wide range of concerns including trauma, bipolar mood shifts, and LGBT-related stress.

In early meetings she helps clarify priorities and crafts simple strategies clients can try between sessions. Over time she adjusts plans based on what proves helpful. The focus is on realistic change that fits everyday life.

How Shannon’s Methods Work Online

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that feed stress or low mood, then test small behavior changes to see what helps. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day ADHD challenges like time management and organization.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on existing strengths and practical next steps. That approach is often short-term and goal-directed, useful when someone wants to leave a specific problem behind and try new actions right away.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Shannon will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust what they do together based on what proves most useful. She partners with each person to pick methods that fit their life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full sessions with visual cues, phone works for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is not needed, and messaging suits quick check-ins or brief reflections between appointments. These options make therapy easier to schedule, help sessions fit into busy days, and let people keep momentum with shorter or more frequent touchpoints when helpful.
