About Shannon
Shannon Mannino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, and works with young adults facing the push and pull of early adulthood.
She uses clear, evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. Sessions often include practical tools for handling panic, worry, low mood, and impulsivity. She also addresses communication problems, workplace stress, and the loneliness that can come with life transitions.
Shannon draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods to break down problems into manageable steps. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and reduce anxiety symptoms. Positive psychology strategies help people notice strengths and small wins when progress feels slow.
Faith-informed ideas may be part of conversations if that matters to the client, and Shannon aims to work collaboratively to set realistic goals. She helps clients build coping strategies, improve self-awareness, and practice new behaviors between sessions.
Her approach suits people who want straight talk, clear tools, and regular skill practice. Young adults navigating school, first jobs, changing relationships, or questions about purpose have been a common focus in her work. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the intake process.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-focused methods concentrate on specific, achievable steps and short-term goals to move past feeling stuck.She also incorporates mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies to teach simple breathing and grounding practices that lower arousal and improve attention. These practices are brief and repeatable between sessions to manage panic attacks or overwhelming moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shannon collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps, trying adjustments, and focusing on practical skills that can be used right away.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around school, work, and commuting. They may also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people avoid camera use if that reduces stress. Many find that remote sessions help maintain consistency and apply new skills in daily life.
