About Shannon
Dr. Shannon Holliker is a Florida LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and career or coaching questions.
She begins from straightforward conversation. She encourages honest talk about thoughts, feelings, and the practical problems that come up at home. Small wins get noticed alongside the harder topics. Sessions focus on clear goals and ways to track progress over time.
Holliker holds a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work focus, plus master’s degrees in Social Work and Child Development and Education. That background informs her work with parents and with people who are caring for very young children. She has experience supporting parents facing medical stress in the family, fertility concerns, and early developmental or behavioral issues in young children.
Her approach mixes attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That allows her to address both immediate coping skills and longer-standing patterns. She also provides individual therapy for anxiety, depression linked to life stress, burnout, and trauma-related concerns.
People who choose to work with her typically want practical steps they can use at home. She favors clear goals and regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs to change.
How sessions work
How attachment, CBT and client-centered work apply online
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and guided exercises to notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating that affect parenting and family stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions she will help identify unhelpful thought patterns, try out small behavioral changes, and track what works between meetings.
Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s priorities and pace. The therapist uses reflective listening and collaborative planning so the client sets goals and decides what to work on next.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will help clients weigh which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm exact options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you need a quieter or lower-bandwidth option, discuss that when scheduling so sessions match your practical needs.
