About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage strong emotions and rebuild steady routines. She works with adults facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, parenting stresses, career concerns, and anger. Her bedside manner is warm and direct, aimed at clear steps clients can use right away.
Shannon trained with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in professional counseling. She brings ten years of experience in varied settings to each session.
Background and approach
That background informs practical strategies rather than abstract theory. In sessions she uses client-centered listening to learn what matters most to each person. She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes.
Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and build momentum toward better days. She has particular experience with trauma and abuse, complex grief, behavior challenges, and emotional regulation. Shannon also helps people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family tensions, codependency, and communication breakdowns.
First responder issues and fatherhood concerns are among areas she has addressed. Her style is collaborative and practical. Shannon aims to teach coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen resilience.
People who want straightforward tools and a caring guide may find her approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Shannon uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's concerns and priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. That approach helps clients feel heard and sets the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete behavior shifts to reduce distress; it is useful for depression, anxiety, anger, and habit change.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shannon will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She aims for practical steps and clear goals so clients can see movement between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or low bandwidth situations, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins and reminders. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep steady contact while working on goals.
