About Bobbie
Bobbie Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, family matters, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Bobbie uses straightforward, interactive work with people. She listens and then offers techniques and reflections. She often combines client-centered listening with cognitive and solution-focused strategies to address current problems and practical steps forward.
Her approach includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements to look at how feelings shape interactions and attachments. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress, and trauma-focused ideas when past events are affecting daily life.
Bobbie has provided psychotherapy in mental health settings and private practice. Over many years she has worked with a broad set of issues that commonly come up for adults managing relationships and parenting responsibilities. Her background includes direct clinical work with people experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she tends to be direct and interactive. She helps people identify what they already know about their situation and then builds on practical steps. The goal is clearer thinking about relationships, improved coping, and greater emotional regulation.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people clarify their own goals and values, which can relieve strain in close relationships and in parenting roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking, reduce anxiety or depression, and change patterns that fuel conflict at home.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to feelings under the surface of relationship problems. It helps people recognize how emotions impact interactions and supports clearer emotional communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
