About Shantel
Shantel Farrow is an Oklahoma licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma and abuse, and related concerns that often show up in early adulthood. Shantel also lists work with addictions, grief, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, and career concerns.
She works in a straightforward, person-centered way that combines several evidence-based methods. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing concrete skills for everyday life. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and attachment-based perspectives to understand relationship patterns.
Shantel names EMDR among her approaches for trauma-related work, and she uses existential and mindfulness ideas to help people find clearer personal meaning and steadier focus. These methods are woven into conversations so the work stays practical and tied to daily goals like better sleep, calmer reactions, or clearer career steps.
Her background includes work with people navigating identity, adoption and foster care topics, attachment difficulties, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, and complex mood issues such as bipolar diagnosis challenges.
For young adults feeling behind, overwhelmed, or stuck after school or early work shifts, Shantel offers structured sessions that address immediate problems and build long-term coping. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shantel commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and work stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, useful for intimacy issues and recurring conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the treatment process. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean using CBT skills one week and exploring attachment patterns the next, or combining approaches for trauma-related concerns.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work or school day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discussing goals and practical constraints at the first meeting helps set a plan that fits daily life.
