About Shannon
Shannon uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions include straightforward strategies for managing symptoms and time for deeper reflection about meaning and purpose.
Her background blends evidence-based tools and depth-oriented work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices help people slow down and stay present during stressful moments.
Shannon also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people clarify values and next steps. Jungian influences guide exploration of personal themes and inner images when that fits a client’s goals. She adapts sessions to what each person needs at the time.
People who are overwhelmed by transitions, unsure about life purpose, or carrying wounds from earlier experiences often seek her out. She encourages small, manageable steps and helps clients track progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Shannon often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness practices train attention and awareness, which can help with stress, emotional regulation, and feeling more grounded.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and daily life demands together and try methods that fit. That collaborative check-in helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills, reflection, or a mix of both.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can still help people fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some sessions may focus on short skill practice, while others include deeper reflection about life purpose or past experiences. Licensed professionals adapt session pacing and tools to match each person's needs.
