Shannon Chenier, LPC

Shannon Chenier is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She welcomes honest conversations about mood shifts, worry, and the everyday pressures that wear people down. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward, and she tells clients that taking the first step toward support matters.

Shannon brings three years of professional experience to sessions. She focuses on practical steps people can use between appointments. That includes talking through emotions, testing small behavior changes, and finding realistic ways to cope with life transitions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new actions that feel more useful. Shannon also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find the motivation to change habits or substance use when that is a concern.

In sessions she emphasizes each person's strengths and life knowledge. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of work so therapy fits their needs. She believes courage is required to begin, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.

Shannon works with issues that include bipolar mood changes, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, with sessions arranged through the platform's standard sign-up and scheduling process.

How Shannon uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try small changes that can reduce stress and anxiety. CBT sessions look at specific situations, the thoughts that follow, and simple actions to test over the coming week.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on the client's own reasons for change and builds motivation through guided conversation rather than pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods to fit what is needed. She sees therapy as collaborative and will check in about what is working as progress unfolds.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days, for example by reducing travel time, allowing brief check-ins during a break, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy become a regular part of daily life.
