About Shannon
Shannon Shuler is a South Carolina LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, grief, identity and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Shannon also lists LGBTQ issues, parenting and career concerns among her areas of focus.
Shannon uses practical, talk-based work. Sessions often look at current problems and skills that help reduce distress. She draws on ways of thinking and behaving that can change daily patterns, along with breathing and attention practices that calm the nervous system.
Her background includes work in medical and dialysis settings and roles supporting people through recovery and grief. She has helped people navigating infertility, addiction concerns such as gambling and problematic sexual behaviors, and those rebuilding after trauma. That variety informs how she approaches complex or overlapping issues.
In sessions she blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with skills drawn from mindfulness and DBT-style approaches. EMDR is one of the methods she uses for trauma-related symptoms. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative-based conversations when exploring change and values.
Shannon accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the site button for online therapy options.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their goals and values. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps by prioritizing their own perspective and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress linked to study, work, or relationship pressures.
EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce distress tied to specific memories. It is typically chosen when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shannon will discuss options with each client, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. The therapist and client work together to find what actually helps in day-to-day life.
