Shannon uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people identify patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and build manageable skills.

Approaches you might use and how online sessions fit
Shannon frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building a collaborative relationship so a person can explore what matters most and try new ways of coping.She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to teach present-moment awareness and to set short, achievable goals. Together these approaches can help with stress, panic, anger, grief, and the practical demands of early adult life. Finding the right mix is part of the process and Shannon will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or study. Therapists generally adapt exercises, thought records, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
