She also supports those coping with phobias, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Shannon keeps sessions focused on practical steps. She listens first, then offers techniques that match a person’s goals.
Background and approach
Many conversations center on breaking problems into small, achievable changes and building routines that reduce worry and improve sleep. Her methods draw on cognitive behavior ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, and emotion-focused work. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ways of relating to help people feel seen and understood.
These approaches are used to address core patterns behind anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulty. Shannon brings nine years of clinical experience in Louisiana to each session. She emphasizes cultural awareness and aims to respect people’s identities and backgrounds while tackling things like parenting stress, career strain, ADHD, or trauma history.
Shannon works with adults on practical coping skills, improving relationships, and navigating transitions. She helps people set realistic goals and notices progress along the way. Her style is collaborative, direct, and focused on steps clients can use between sessions.
Approach and online care that adapts to your life
Shannon commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people with anxiety, phobias, and life transitions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills for changing behaviors and improving sleep and mood.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship and intimacy concerns by helping people understand and express underlying emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; Shannon collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life rather than imposing a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick updates, ongoing skill practice, or brief questions between sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
