More about Shannon

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of mental health care experience. I have worked with client's with a wide range of mental health disorders including Depression, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, PTSD, Substance Abuse disorders, etc. In addition I have worked with client's without a diagnosis that were experiencing Relationship problems, Parenting concerns, and others who were experiencing grief or having problems adjusting to changes in their life. I have experience working with individuals experiencing or have experienced sexual, physical, or verbal abuse.

My therapy style is relatable, supportive and encouraging. I believe that everyone deserves respect, regardless of race, political standing or religion. My approach combines Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and a Solution Focused approach. I used additional evidenced based practices based on the presenting problem that a client is experiencing.

Admitting that you need help is the first step on the journey to make positive changes in your life. If you are ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you.

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.

Shannon is an excellent therapist. She is an active listener, constructive, and encouraging. She has helped me grow into a stronger individual.

Reviewed January 2023

During a time of many changes, Shannon gave me a safe space to process things and provided me with an outside perspective to view my past and present in a new lens that allowed me to cultivate a better understanding of my sense of self, as well as the tools to be able to maintain and manage things in future. I’m more than grateful. I recommend talking it out and considering therapy to anyone unsure, because you won’t know until you really try, which sometimes means giving things a try more than once.

Shannon is very skilled and active listener. She is organized and thoroughly addresses my main needs during a session. She validates my feelings while challenging me to recognize the things that I say and do that I never noticed before. Shannon also supports my Christian faith throughout the session which is very important to me during this process.
