About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Holliker offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy. She is an LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience and helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and life transitions.
She focuses on practical goals and clear progress markers so clients know what to expect. Her work emphasizes honest conversation and a nonjudgmental space where people can say difficult things. She invites clients to notice small victories as part of long-term change.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-focused strategies alongside chances to reflect on patterns that matter in daily life. Shannon has a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus, plus two master’s degrees in Social Work and in Child Development and Education. That background supports her interest in early childhood issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment, and developmental or behavioral worries.
She draws on that training when helping parents and caregivers address stress tied to a young child's needs. Beyond parenting topics, she assists people facing anxiety, depression related to life stress or burnout, trauma responses, and challenges such as obsessions, panic attacks, and workplace strain. Her work includes practical tools as well as attention to emotional experience.
She tailors plans to each person’s situation and checks progress against shared goals. Sessions may include skills practice, mindfulness, and conversations about motivation and values. People who want clear steps, respectful dialogue, and a steady focus on what matters day to day often find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online options
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can help when worries around connection, attachment, or parenting feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, panic, or obsessive patterns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest a path forward. Together they set measurable goals and revisit them to see what is working and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for convenience and accessibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to keep momentum between appointments.
