About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with more than 35 years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns.

She uses a mix of well-established methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, emotionally focused work, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions are interactive and goal-oriented, with attention to what the person already knows about their life. Conversations tend to focus on clear steps and coping strategies that can be used between sessions. Bobbie has worked across community mental health settings and independent practice.
That background gives her experience with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and communication or codependency issues. She brings a practical focus to complex problems like divorce, family of origin concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. People can expect a therapist who listens, asks direct questions, and helps find manageable changes.
Therapeutic goals are set together and revisited over time. Bobbie aims to help each person move toward a more authentic, steady life. Her credentials are LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.
She practices from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and empowers them to find their own solutions to problems like relationship strain or low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing symptoms between sessions.
Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people identify and change interaction habits that cause distress. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach often takes time. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches and are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
