She aims to support parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to handle major life changes.

Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and track progress. Shannon completed a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in professional counseling.

That background informs a detail-oriented way of working that still keeps everyday life in view. In sessions she emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, coping, and problem solving. Parents can expect concrete strategies for behavior management, communication, and stress relief.
She also addresses issues such as trauma, grief, self-esteem, and relationship strain in a step-by-step way. Her approach is warm and collaborative. Shannon aims to empower people to build routines and skills that make daily life more manageable.
If you want straightforward guidance and measurable steps, her style may fit your needs.

Approaches that guide Shannon's online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. CBT is often used for mood concerns, stress, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needs change. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful and which tools to keep using between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls work well for full conversations and shared screen tools, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or a workday break.
