More about Shannon

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist serving Wyoming, I bring over a decade of compassionate experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate diverse emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, managing stress and difficult life transitions.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental approach that honors each person's unique journey. My therapeutic work focuses on addressing social anxiety, communication challenges, self-love, and personal growth. I'm particularly committed to supporting individuals experiencing isolation, workplace stress, life transitions, relationship problems and emotional upheaval.

My approach is holistic and adaptive, drawing from evidence-based practices to help clients develop resilience, understand their patterns, and cultivate meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and life stages, creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and move toward more authentic, empowered living.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
