Shannon Samuel, LPC

Shannon Samuel is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She supports those feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck and offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence while clients sort through what matters most.

She holds a master’s degree in counseling and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Shannon pays close attention to how daily habits, thoughts, and relationships shape mood and energy. She helps people break problems into small steps they can try between sessions.

Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and direct. Sessions move at a person’s pace, focusing on practical tools alongside space to reflect. Shannon listens carefully, helps name what you are feeling, and looks for options that feel doable in real life.

Shannon blends several approaches to meet each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered listening to follow what matters to you, cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness practices to steady attention during stress. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

People often come for help with mood concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, caregiver stress, intimacy and relationship questions, life transitions, and career pressures. Shannon works with these issues in a practical, collaborative way so clients can find clearer direction and more ease day to day.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to you. In practice this means sessions emphasize understanding your concerns and helping you set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It’s useful for stress management, worry, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on how emotions and relationship patterns shape what you do; it can help when feeling disconnected or when repeated conflicts cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps people land on tools and routines that actually work in their daily life.

The original biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people appreciate being able to practice skills between sessions in their usual environment while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
