About Shannon
Shannon blends several therapeutic styles to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work on distressing memories when appropriate.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step plans. Clients can expect straightforward talk, skills practice, and gentle challenges designed to reduce overwhelm. Shannon also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to attend to emotions and relational patterns as they emerge.
She has treated a range of clinical concerns across anxiety presentations, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, grief, and trauma-related issues. Additional focus areas include chronic pain and illness, communication problems, forgiveness work, panic, and workplace stress.
Shannon aims to help people set realistic goals that align with their values. The practice favors steady progress through practical exercises and regular review of what’s working. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options when they book.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to move forward despite discomfort.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can help with panic, obsessive thinking, social anxiety, and mood problems by using structured exercises and homework.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past distressing memories are contributing to current symptoms. It involves structured processing aimed at reducing the intensity of those memories and their emotional charge.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around daily life and shorter check-ins when needed. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the original profile, confirm current options before booking. Online work can still include skills practice, guided exercises, and values-based planning that fit into a client’s routine.
