About Shannon

Shannon Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults on concerns that include depression, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and matters related to LGBT identity. Her background also covers ADHD, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Shannon uses cognitive behavioral approaches as a central method. That means she and the person she sees look at patterns of thinking and behavior and try practical steps to shift them. She also draws on mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work when those fit a person's goals.

In early sessions she conducts a consultation and an evaluation of needs. Together they map some first impressions and consider a treatment plan if the person wants to continue. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and focused on concrete steps people can try between meetings.

Shannon has worked with people from varied backgrounds and cultural settings. She discusses practical concerns such as time and financial commitment before too many sessions take place. That helps people decide if continuing makes sense for their family life and daily routines.

People often come to her when parenting stress or family conflict is wearing them down. She also supports those dealing with loss, identity questions, and the aftermath of trauma. The emphasis is on looking at what changes might reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online care

Shannon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness methods in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and reactivity. She also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. That approach helps when someone is unsure about next steps, offering short, focused conversations to find motivation and set achievable targets. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative part of the first few sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will review goals, everyday demands, and what the person prefers, then suggest a plan that can include homework and regular check-ins. This gives people concrete options to try between meetings and helps track whether an approach is working. Please confirm specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, school runs, or parenting duties. Others choose options that require less bandwidth or shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The focus is on making therapy fit day-to-day life while using CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address the issues named above.
