Background and approach
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills for grounding, relaxation, and distress tolerance. Her background includes about five years working with hospitalized clients needing crisis stabilization and around four years inside a correctional facility supporting stress management and treatment planning. More recent practice experience includes community-based work with adults, teens, and couples in independent practice settings.
In sessions she focuses on emotional regulation, communication skills, and setting realistic goals. She emphasizes small, measurable steps and checks progress regularly to help people see change. Shannon encourages clients to build self-awareness and stronger coping tools.
People come to her for issues such as relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar and other mood disorders, trouble with impulsivity, and difficulties finding life purpose. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation and preferences, offering practical strategies to improve day-to-day functioning. Shannon presents therapy as a collaborative process.
She values respect, sensitivity, and steady support while people work toward clearer goals and improved emotional balance.

Approaches and online care for practical change
Shannon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that lead to distress and then practice new, more helpful responses. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and managing unhelpful behavior patterns.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach grounding, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. DBT skills are useful for people who struggle with impulsivity or strong reactions and need concrete tools to reduce overreactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most effective. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that reflects the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls support face-to-face dialogue and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when ongoing written support is helpful. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
