About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anger, career questions, and bipolar-related challenges. Shannon also focuses on related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, and communication problems.
Shannon trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling. Her clinical work has taken place in a range of settings where she worked with adults, adolescents, families, and at-risk youth. That variety shaped a practical, detail-oriented style that emphasizes obvious next steps rather than jargon.
In sessions she blends Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. She uses Trauma-Focused approaches when addressing complex trauma and abuse. Her work centers on helping people recognize thought patterns, identify root concerns, and develop concrete coping skills they can use between sessions.
Shannon describes her style as collaborative and focused on practical strategies. She draws on life experience as a wife and mother while keeping the conversation grounded and direct. The goal is to build skills for emotional regulation, problem solving, and clearer decision-making.
Shannon practices in Texas and conducts work in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Shannon’s approaches translate to online work
Shannon commonly draws on Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective, listening carefully and helping people talk through what matters most. It helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors, and teaches practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one formula.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue therapy while moving, changing jobs, or balancing school and work. Ask about the current session options to match scheduling and technical needs before your first appointment.
