Background and approach
That range of experience shapes her steady, unhurried approach to problem-solving. In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different coping skills. She blends that with psychodynamic ideas and an empowerment outlook to help people connect present struggles to past patterns when useful.
The result is practical work that also looks at personal meaning. She helps with a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and career stress. She also has experience with first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS related concerns, and hoarding.
Shannon talks through specific skills and steps so progress is clear and measurable. People who come to her can expect a calm, strengths-based atmosphere. She works with each person to set realistic goals and tries to keep sessions focused on what will make a difference in daily life.
How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and skill focused, often involving short exercises and action steps between sessions that help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and daily stress.Shannon also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time and an empowerment approach to help people build confidence and use their strengths. She and the client work together to decide which methods fit the person's goals and daily life, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection or quick skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats until the right match is found.
