About Shannon
Shannon Nelson, LPCC, focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She writes simply and directly to people who are worried and unsure where to start. Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients find clear, practical steps forward.
Shannon treats each person as the expert on their own life. She draws on her experience in school settings supporting children, teens, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
Background and approach
That background shaped how she builds structure and routines that can make day-to-day life easier. In sessions she uses approachable techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also leans on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect mood and stress.
Narrative methods help people reframe difficult events and notice strengths they already have. Shannon keeps talk practical. Meetings often include setting short goals, practicing coping skills, and checking what worked between sessions.
She aims to make therapy feel like a team effort where progress is tracked in simple steps. She holds a California LPCC, which means she is a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state. Outside sessions she stays focused on clear communication and helping people build confidence and better daily routines.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Shannon often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that ease anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical experiments and short exercises that transfer well to video or text formats.She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when worry or anger ties back to relationship patterns and can guide new communication habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon treats the choice as a collaboration and will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together she and the client pick methods that fit the person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit short interactions into a busy day. These options aim to make it easier to attend regularly and keep progress moving forward.
