01About Shannon
Shannon Gooch welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She writes in plain terms and offers steady, practical support for emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and life transitions. Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she draws on ten years of clinical experience in her work.
Shannon uses straightforward tools to help people change unhelpful thinking and build better daily habits. She focuses on small, doable steps so progress feels realistic.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal directed rather than long lectures. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling. Those academic foundations are paired with a range of practice settings that shaped her approach to crisis, trauma, and mood concerns.
She brings a practical, detail-oriented mindset to problem solving. Clients often get concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. Shannon also addresses relationship and parenting pressures, self-esteem, grief, anger, and career stress.
She explains ideas plainly and models skills so people can try them between sessions. In sessions she combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. The aim is to build emotional resilience and clear next steps.
Shannon frames therapy as a partnership that prioritizes realistic goals and steady progress.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Shannon commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions rather than imposing fixes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and useful for depression, anxiety, and managing mood or stress by changing thought-action patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shannon works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or shorter contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, handle sudden schedule changes, and continue work between sessions.
