About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns, and works with issues common in young adulthood such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related struggles.
She blends talk therapy with psycho-education and practical coping skills. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to help manage anxious thoughts and build day-to-day routines. She also draws on dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas for values-based decision making.
Hunter trained in both education and counseling, earning multiple degrees from Texas Tech University, including a doctorate in educational psychology. Her background includes work in private practice, integrated health clinics, university campuses, and state facilities, which informs a flexible, experience-based approach to care.
Her style is straightforward and focused on skills people can use between sessions. She talks through patterns, helps set small behavioral goals, and offers psycho-educational material so clients understand why certain approaches are suggested. That practical focus can help when life is changing fast, like after graduation or when starting a first job.
People who prefer clear, skill-based work and want to address things such as anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, grief, or addictive behaviors may find this approach useful. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching flow and schedule an initial session to see if this fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Hunter regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments or practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful for intense mood swings, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will review your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you will try methods, check how they fit your life, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
