More about Shan

  • LMFT

Hi my name is Shan Croft, and I am a licensed therapist in Georgia with 8 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a multitude of presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and other life challenges.

My therapy style is collaborative, direct, supportive, and solution focused. My goal is to help clients connect and re-frame the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that could be acting as barriers to a satisfactory life. I believe in showing all individuals respect, sensitivity, and empathy. My therapy approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. I will customize our dialogue to meet your specific therapeutic needs.

If and when you are ready to take the next step towards promoting your healing. I am here to support and encourage you on that journey.

I look forward to working with you!

**Note to Clients: Sessions are either 30 minutes long or 45 minutes. I have session times blocked off for 45 minutes on my calendar however, if you do not need the entire 45 minutes for a session then it is perfectly okay. I am flexible to accommodate to if you need a shorter session.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

This woman right here, is phenomenal. The most down to earth therapist I've had. Words cannot begin to articulate how much she has helped me, although I was skeptical at first (having prior neg experiences ) I grew to love and appreciate her honesty and ability to help me process what I was going through/what I had been going through and what I already went through for years. I've never had a therapist dive deep with me to the point that she has. I'm so glad that I let her in because she has helped me discover what had always been there, hidden underneath all the pain. The true essence of me. My strength , my beauty, my resilience, even my innocence, my confidence and so much more..... I wish I could give her, her flowers but maybe this will do. And to whomever may read this review, know that you got this and that the sun comes out shortly after the rain. You're in good hands with Ms. Shan.

To be honest I don’t know where I would be without Shan Croft. She helped me through a time in my life where I was struggling mentally, emotionally, and did not know how to overcome it by myself. As someone that never opens, didn’t think therapy would help, somehow she changed my Perspective on what it means to seek help, and self love. This experience has changed my life and now I am to live a more functional life. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

Wasn't sure what to expect from Better Help or Shan. I'd heard a lot of people say they had to jump around from person to person to find someone they felt like worked for them. I feel lucky I got matched up with Shan up front. They're easy to talk to. I feel like they understand where I'm coming from on stuff. They've provided helpful tips / guidance and helped me understand why I might be doing / feeling the way I do.
