Bobbie Shannon

Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anger alongside related concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. Her approach is direct and warm, focused on practical next steps rather than abstract labels.

She uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. Sessions are interactive and collaborative, with the therapist helping clients name what matters and try small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while Client-Centered work prioritizes the client’s perspective and goals.

Bobbie has worked in both mental health facilities and private practice. That range shaped a straightforward counseling style that balances empathy with clear guidance. She often helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and reduce reactivity in heated moments.

When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, she brings trauma-focused and emotion-focused techniques to bear. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to rebuild daily routines and notice progress sooner. The focus is on skills that people can use right away to feel steadier.

Her practice is based in North Carolina and sessions are conducted in English. People looking for help with anger, relationship conflict, codependency, or life transitions can expect a practical, person-centered process aimed at finding more effective ways to cope and relate.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and goals. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to set useful goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort values, choices, and personal priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors. It often involves tracking patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and learning skills to reduce reactivity and mood symptoms. CBT can be helpful for anger, anxiety, and depression because it breaks issues into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean blending client-centered listening with CBT skills and brief solution-focused tasks.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions, helping people build skills they can use between meetings.
