Shannon Lloyd

Shannon Lloyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, and identity questions. Shannon brings a warm, empathetic manner to sessions and aims to make asking for help feel less daunting.

Shannon uses practical, goal-focused work influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, paired with a client-centered stance. She listens for strengths and builds steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her background includes work across a range of settings and with culturally diverse people. That experience informs how she pays attention to each person's story and context. She also has experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and problems tied to discrimination or multicultural stress.

In the room Shannon keeps language simple and concrete. She helps people name patterns, practice new skills, and test small changes. The work can include exploring personal history alongside clear behavior-focused tools to reduce distress and increase coping.

Shannon aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for clients to try things at their own pace. She encourages collaboration on goals and adjustments as needed so progress feels realistic and tied to daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients shape the pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shannon will talk through your needs, goals, and preferences and help select methods that fit. She often blends listening with structured exercises so work feels useful and connected to daily life.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for a shorter check-in when needed, or remove the need to travel. Shannon aims to make remote work practical by focusing on clear steps, homework when helpful, and adapting pace to how someone is managing between sessions.
