Shannon Samuel, LPC

Shannon Samuel is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship trouble, or big life changes. She often supports those feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next. Her approach aims to be straightforward and compassionate so people can begin to move forward.

She has a master’s degree in counseling and about 10 years of experience working with a range of concerns. Shannon often works with caregivers and people who are used to holding things together for others, giving them space to focus on their own needs. Her background includes work with trauma, mood concerns, and issues connected to family of origin and life purpose.

Shannon’s style is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. She listens first, then helps people make sense of their feelings and thoughts. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and progress at a manageable pace so changes feel doable rather than forced.

She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means there is time to talk and time to try specific strategies for stress, anxiety, or low mood. Emotionally-focused ideas and solution-focused steps also shape the work when relationships or goal-oriented change are needed.

People can expect honest conversation, short practical exercises, and steps to help with coping and decision-making. Shannon encourages exploration of values, forgiveness, and resolving patterns that keep someone stuck. She aims to help clients build habits that fit real life and support steady progress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to you. In online sessions this means the therapist offers open, nonjudgmental listening and follows your pace so you feel heard and clear about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online work often uses short exercises and practical homework to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, or stress between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that shape close relationships. In remote sessions this can mean guided conversations and exercises that increase emotional awareness and improve connection over time.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That choice can change as progress is made, and Shannon checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when days are tight. It can also allow flexibility for people managing caregiver duties, work demands, or location constraints.
