Shannon Sartori

Shannon Sartori is an LCSW with two decades of experience offering steady, practical therapeutic care. She works from a relaxed and warm style that aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. Shannon focuses on helping people with anger along with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and a range of other concerns.

Shannon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach to help people notice and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses psychodynamic ideas and an empowerment orientation to help people identify strengths and build on them. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused, with skills and reflections tailored to each person.

Her background includes work in youth and family centers, coordination of in-school therapy, managing Victims of Crime Act programs, and roles with courts and prisons. She has completed assessment and referral work for people with serious mental illness and has run a private practice. This variety informs a practical, down-to-earth perspective in session.

Shannon has experience addressing concerns such as grief, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, and eating or sleep difficulties. She helps people coping with life changes, career questions, intimacy-related issues, and bipolar mood concerns.

Shannon practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Her approach centers on helping people discover their strengths and use those strengths to make steady changes in daily life.

CBT and collaborative online care

Shannon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anger, anxiety, and depression active. CBT sessions focus on practical steps and skills such as thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and new coping strategies to change day-to-day patterns.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape current reactions. That approach helps people connect patterns in relationships and emotional life to present challenges, which can be useful when working through trauma or recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shannon will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then shape the plan together. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques and pacing to each person's needs.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or from another convenient location. It can also allow a shorter check-in when people need quick support rather than a longer visit. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
