About Shannon
Shannon Caraway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger and other strong emotions. He supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and life changes. Shannon writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what feels most urgent to each person.
He moved into mental health after 18 years in education, first working as a case manager and admissions coordinator. After three years in those roles he completed a Master of Social Work and began seeing therapy clients.
Background and approach
His clinical work spans inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient services, day treatment, and school-based programs. Shannon has worked with a wide age range, from young children to elders. He draws on practical methods to help people set small goals and try new behaviors between sessions.
Sessions focus on clear steps someone can take right away to feel safer and more in control. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and build workable plans.
Those tools are combined to meet the real problems people bring into the room. Based in Arkansas, Shannon brings three years of post-degree clinical experience as an LCSW. He offers conversations that aim to be calm, direct, and useful.
People who want straightforward coaching and coping strategies often find his style a good match.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and builds small, practical steps toward the client's goals. It is useful when someone wants quick, targeted change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility that fits varied schedules. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework follow-ups, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
