Background and approach

Shannon’s background spans education and mental health settings. She holds a Master’s in Counseling, a Master’s in Education, and a Doctorate in Educational Psychology. Her career includes independent practice, clinics, integrated health care, state facilities, and university work in Texas.

Sessions tend to be calm and focused. She emphasizes active listening, practical skill building, and supportive feedback. Many people come for help with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

She also addresses issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, and adjustment to life changes. The goal is to make therapy relevant to daily life with clear techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive your actions. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or worry is present.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In brief, it teaches ways to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try behavioral experiments that reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as they learn what works best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone can be easier when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Chat and text let people send quick updates or work through ideas between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
