About Shannon
Shannon Gooch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by anxiety. She writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person. Parents and individuals facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, or career stress will find a practical, steady presence during difficult moments.
Shannon has ten years of clinical experience and holds a master’s degree in Professional Counseling. She combines real-world perspective as a wife and mother with careful attention to details learned in varied practice settings. That mix shapes a counselor who values clear goals and respectful, down-to-earth support.
Her method is collaborative and action-oriented. Shannon often uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's views. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people map unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, doable changes that build progress.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools - coping skills for anxiety, steps for managing mood swings, and strategies for clearer communication. She works with common and complex concerns including trauma, depression, self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, and issues around attachment and abandonment.
Shannon aims to help people move toward greater emotional stability and clearer next steps. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, real skills, and steady planning so clients can make changes that fit their everyday lives.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Shannon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully to each person and helping them find their own direction. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and make personal decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, anger, and mood management because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. She tailors techniques and checkpoints so the plan matches the person's life and pace, rather than forcing a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow check-ins from a weekday break or between errands. It can also let a therapist use screen-shared worksheets, guided exercises, and brief between-session tasks to keep momentum toward goals.
