About Shannon
She works with adults on a range of difficulties that can come with daily life and major transitions. Her work includes support for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, social anxiety, and struggles around self-worth. She also offers care for people navigating chronic pain, illness, or disability and for those facing workplace or communication problems.
Shannon blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and commit to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change thinking and behavior that keeps distress going. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and psychodynamic ideas when trauma or deeper patterns are part of the concern.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and skills that can be practiced between meetings. Shannon describes the work as collaborative and goal-oriented, with steady attention to what matters most to the client. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Shannon conducts therapy in English and holds a Delaware LPC-MH credential.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It suits worries about life direction, persistent anxiety, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and panic. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past events continue to cause distress; it aims to reduce the emotional hold of troubling memories and their current effects.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which methods fit the presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some formats also make brief check-ins simple when a full session isn’t needed. Talk with the therapist during the intake to find how sessions can best fit your routine and goals.
