Hi there! My name is Shannon Nicholson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been a licensed counselor since 2015 and I am excited to work with you. I graduated with my Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology from Missouri State University and have worked with a variety of clients, from youth and families in residential care to victims and survivors of intimate partner violence. I am an advocate for my clients and walk alongside them toward their goals.
My specialties include depression and anxiety, stress-related issues, trauma, communication challenges, and self-esteem. My approach to counseling is goal oriented and client centered. The main modalities I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), balanced with a warm and empathic style. When I am not working with clients, I can be found hiking with my partner and dogs or cuddled up watching Netflix.
Asking for help takes immense strength and I applaud you for taking the first step! If you are ready to continue that journey, I would be thrilled to support and empower you along the way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
