Greg Shannon

Greg Shannon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and anger. He works with people facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He also supports clients aiming to improve performance in work, sports, or personal goals.

Greg centers sessions on a warm, empathetic approach so clients can speak honestly without feeling judged. He focuses on practical steps and tools that people can try between meetings. Accountability and regular feedback are part of how progress is tracked.

His methods draw from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and motivational interviewing when those approaches suit a persons goals. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term, achievable goals.

In sessions Greg explains options clearly and helps people pick approaches that match their needs. He aims to make therapy straightforward and usable in daily life rather than abstract or overly technical. Many clients leave with concrete skills they can use right away.

Greg has worked in private practice, rehab settings, and psychiatric units, so he is familiar with a range of mental health situations. If someone is ready to make a change, he offers steady support, practical tools, and ongoing feedback to help them move forward.

How Greg blends therapy approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and partnership. The therapist follows the persons lead, reflects concerns, and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive place to talk through feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises and homework to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often shortened to DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when that is relevant.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit daily life.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, keep meetings brief when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people practice skills in their usual surroundings and follow up with accountability and feedback between sessions.
