About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 35 years of experience. She focuses on common pressures of early adulthood such as anxiety, stress, relationship strain, identity questions, and feeling behind peers. She also works with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and communication.
Her style is direct and interactive. She listens and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than abstract. She draws on several evidence-based ways of working to suit different needs.
Bobbie uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspectives. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Solution-focused and mindfulness strategies are used to build coping tools and small, workable changes.
Her background includes long experience in mental health settings and private practice. That history means she often helps people who are managing the fallout from trauma, recovering from relationship harm, or navigating major life changes. She can also support people struggling with mood disorders, ADHD, or codependency when those concerns come up.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect decades of clinical work. Prospective clients should review session options and scheduling details before booking to confirm the current format and process.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and goals. It involves open listening and reflecting so the person can name priorities and decide the next steps. This approach helps with relationship decisions, identity questions, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks larger problems into specific patterns to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for worry, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express important emotions in relationships. It can be used when intimacy, communication, or attachment issues are the main concern. The therapist helps people notice emotional patterns and try new ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process makes adjustments as progress is tracked.

Online work can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to attend between classes or shifts, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling rhythms and how sessions will be structured to fit everyday life.
