About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a licensed counselor with 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals facing trauma, mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Her approach aims to be clear, respectful, and straightforward so people can talk through what feels most urgent to them.
She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy guides her to listen closely and follow each person’s pace. Emotionally-Focused ideas are used when relationship and intimacy issues need attention. Bobbie keeps sessions focused and interactive.
She helps people set small, doable goals and practices new skills between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and build calm in stressful moments. Her background includes long work in community mental health and independent practice in North Carolina and South Carolina.
She brings experience with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, and compassion fatigue, and she has supported people through divorce, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. People who want direct feedback and practical steps tend to find her style helpful. Sessions mix listening with hands-on skill building, so clients leave with concrete techniques to try.
Her goal is to help each person move toward a clearer, steadier sense of self.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person seeking help, focusing on listening and understanding what matters most to them. This approach supports people working through relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions by following their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward exercises to test beliefs, change unhelpful thinking, and try new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage anger.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when attachment and close relationships are the main concern. It guides people to identify underlying emotions and practice new ways of connecting, which can improve intimacy and reduce recurring conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with online formats, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and role practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are convenient for brief check-ins or split schedules, and all formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
