About Shan
Shan Croft is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strains, career stress, and other life transitions. Shan uses a collaborative and direct style to help clients make changes that matter in daily life.
She focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than lengthy theory. In sessions she helps people notice thought patterns, name difficult feelings, and try small changes that can ease stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are guided by the person’s goals and paced to fit what feels useful. Shan blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
She uses solution-focused steps to set short-term goals and track progress. Motivational interviewing is part of her way of helping people find personal reasons to change. Narrative techniques are used to look at life stories and shift the meaning people give to difficult events.
Session length is flexible and offered in 30- or 45-minute slots. Shan emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empathy throughout the work. She invites people to begin with small steps and adjust the pace as progress unfolds.
How Shan’s Approaches Work Online
Shan commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when practical changes are needed. She also uses solution-focused methods that focus on short-term goals and small wins to make steady progress.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the early work. Shan works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts the mix of techniques over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for a full, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are helpful for brief check-ins, shorter appointments, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady contact between sessions.
